Tomorrow, Saturday, January 19, is our National Day of Service. every year it coincides with Martin Luther King Weekend, when people have an extra day off, so they can perhaps put a little focus outside themselves. There are events in every state, and probably most cities, so it should be easy to find a volunteer possibility somewhere near you. Whether you serve at a soup kitchen, clean up a park, help organize an upcoming fundraiser, rehabilitate a playground, plant a tree, walk shelter dogs, shovel out the stalls at a therapeutic horse facility, work a phone tree, run a race for charity, or whatever kind of volunteering most floats your boat–tomorrow you will be in good company. It’s a nationwide thing. Thousands of events will host hordes of volunteers (but we still need you!)
