“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by remembering that everyone can make a difference. At Values Into Action, we believe that every person deserves respect, choice, and a meaningful place in their community. Serving others is one way we help make that belief real. MLK Day is a chance for all of us to come together, support our neighbors, and strengthen our communities. No matter how big or small, your actions matter. By taking part in service, you help build the kind of caring, inclusive world Dr. King dreamed of — and the one we work toward every day.
