Second Annual MLK Day of Service, Jan. 24

Join us on Monday, Jan. 24, 2026, for the Second Annual MLK Day of Service as we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through meaningful, community-centered action. This year’s theme, “Lighting the Way: Faith, Hope, and Action,” invites us to shine light into our communities and continue building toward Dr. King’s dream. May every act of service bring us one step closer to justice, unity and beloved community.

Service projects will take place between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., with volunteer shifts lasting 2–3 hours. Transportation and snacks will be provided to all participants.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to engage with one of our amazing host sites across St. Mary’s County:
