In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we invite you to join us on Monday, January 19th, for a day of community service and celebration at the Richmond Greenway in partnership with Urban Tilth.

This federal holiday was designated as a national day of service over 30 years ago and is designed to be a “day ON”—rather than a day off—in alignment with honoring Dr. King’s life, legacy, and aspiration of a beloved community marked by racial unity, justice for the betterment of all, and going beyond yourself.
