Office Of Multicultural Affairs Releases List Of Projects Planned For MLK Day Of Service

  • Friday, January 12, 2018

Volunteers and organizers are ready to complete more than 50 service projects on Monday for the 2018 MLK Day of Service. This year’s day of service marks 50 years since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Due to expected cold weather, the kickoff and registration have been moved inside to the Maclellan Gym on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. After the official kickoff, hundreds of volunteers will disperse into Chattanooga neighborhoods to undertake landscaping, clearing debris, trail maintenance, painting, deep cleaning, building repairs, community art projects, and more.


Pre-registration is closed, but people can still sign up for a project on Monday morning at the registration table.


Schedule:

Volunteer Check In: 8-9 a.m.

Service Projects Begin: 9 a.m.

Kickoff Location: UTC Maclellan Gym
Projects will last until 12:30 p.m.

or earlier as tasks are completed.
