According to a recent press release from The Corporation for National and Community Service, more volunteers than ever will be serving on MLK Day. Volunteers from HOPE worldwide and the International Churches will be among those in record numbers across the country.Thanks in large part to the inspirational call of President-Elect Obama to serve today, the CNS reports that:
"the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) reported that more than 12,100 service projects have been registered on the www.USAService.org website. This number is more than double the record set last year when 500,000 Americans served through 5,000 projects on the King Day of Service"
The press release goes on to recognize several of the local and national programs for today. They included HOPE worldwide's efforts with the American Red Cross to reach thousands of families in 25 cities with "vital fire safety information to help residents prevent home fires, protect their loved ones and strengthen their community."
