President Obama’s national call to service initiative identifies Martin Luther King Day as a National Day of Service.

Throughout his lifetime, Dr. King passionately committed himself to community and service.

On January19, 2013, Americans from all walks of life  honored Dr. King’s legacy through a day of service, a day on, not a day off. The National Day of Service traditionally falls on MLK day, however, the 2013 inaugural events coincided with the holiday, and the National Day of Service was observed on the 19th.
