What a great day seeing so many moved to service, honoring Dr Martin Luther King Jr. The bitter cold didn't chill the spirit of service or celebration of Dr King and his teachings. Thank you to all that served, reflected and built community today.

Special thanks to who brought hundreds together to serve others again this year. Outstanding job!
