WASHINGTON — MLK Weekend is here and there are countless things to celebrate over the three-day weekend, however, we wanted to highlight some volunteering opportunities for those interested in giving back on Monday's holiday.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of service is not just about giving back to the community but also uplifting those around you in order to continue Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Here in the DMV, there are many events to participate in to lend a helping hand and create genuine connections.
