Gloucester Township will host its annual Day of Service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, Jan. 20.
Participants are encouraged to fulfill Dr. King’s dream of helping others. As Dr. King once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Be a part of the fun and worthwhile service projects that have a lasting impact on the entire community.
