"Life's most persistent and urgent questions is: What are you doing for others?" – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Each year, thousands of Illinoisan​s make the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday "a day on, not a day off." Illinois was the first state in the union to honor Dr. King with a holiday, and we proudly continue that tradition of honoring a man who made our world a better place.

This year Serve Illinois asks you to join your neighbors in giving back. For more information on the day of service, and to find volunteer opportunities, please visit MLKDay.gov.
