Changes to our Annual MLK Weekend of Service

SEE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES HERE

After careful consideration and assessments, we have determined that we are shifting how we show-up during the weekend that honors Dr. King. After 14 years, the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and Hands On Greater Portland will no longer host the MLK Weekend of Service, and instead focus more energy on supporting DEI and racial justice resources, events, drives, and ways the community can help from home.

This event began as a community response to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on his federal holiday by uniting in service. We know there are limited volunteer activities that community partners still need support for, so we are posting those opportunities here, along with other events that are facilitated online/virtually in honor of his legacy. 

To see and sign up for the opportunities and community events we are supporting this year, visit Hands On Greater Portland's website here.
