Happy Read Across America Week!
Today, we celebrate the power of reading—and the dedicated educators, librarians, and volunteers who help students discover its magic. Education has always been at the heart of the DAR’s mission. From supporting school libraries and donating classroom supplies to reading with students in local schools, members across the country generously give their time and talents to invest in the next generation of readers. These meaningful acts of service help spark a lifelong love of learning.

“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Today, we join the nation in honoring the life, vision, and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This important day is not only a time for reflection—it is also a National Day of Service, calling us to turn remembrance into action. DAR members proudly answer that call today and throughout the year.

From mentoring youth and organizing food drives to beautifying communities and lending a helping hand, every act of service strengthens neighborhoods, empowers individuals, and builds unity. Together, our service creates ripples of positive change. Honoring Dr. King’s legacy through service today and every day. MLK Day reminds us that meaningful change begins when we serve our communities with purpose and unity.
