Martin Luther King Day is an annual federal holiday, celebrated the third Monday of January, that honors the birthday of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to community service. The holiday was established when Former-President Bill Clinton signed the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday and Service Act in 1994 at the urging of Coretta Scott King, Civil Rights Leader and U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and former Sen. Harris Wofford (D-PA). The holiday is observed as “a day on, not a day off” and is intended to empower individuals, strengthen communities, bridge barriers, create solutions to social issues and honor Dr. King’s vision of a “Beloved Community.”

There are several ways that you can get involved:

  • Sponsor a team from your company or group to volunteer at this exciting event. Marketing includes event signage, website, social media, and press release/media. 
  • Collect donations for the ReStore at your company, the week or two weeks before the event, and deliver them that day (or we may be able to pick them up). Your company would be included on the event signage.
  • Be a general sponsor of the event and have a tent and marketing opportunities, as above.
  • Do some peer-to-peer fundraising to collect money to cover costs of this project. We can set up a Peer-To-Peer Fundraising platform for you!
  • Spread the word about this event to your employees or customers and encourage them to bring household donations to the ReStore that day. We can share your spocial media posts and email blasts to our followers too! 
  • Provide some other things for the event such as food or t-shirts (you can print your logo on the shirt!)

Let us know your interest and we’ll come up with a plan that fits your needs! – Melissa
