12th Annual Lexington MLK Day of ServiceThe Town of Lexington will hold its 32nd commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with its 12th Annual MLK Day of Service by shepherding our community to take part in assisting those in need. Our objective is to engage and mobilize people of all ages to participate in events and activities to serve others. United in philanthropy under the auspices and sponsorship of Lexington’s Human Rights Committee and the Town Celebrations Committee, our target this year is to serve 2,500+ people through 700+ volunteers.
The MLK Day of Service Team is working on the 2025 Program in partnership with the Lexington and adjacent Towns' citizenry, local government and non-profit organizations so check back soon! Got questions? Want to get involved? Email us at [email protected]. |
