Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: A Day On, Not A Day Off

Today, and all week long, we reflect on and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by honoring his message and vision centered on achieving racial equality, justice, and human rights for all people. The MLK Day of Service, designated by Congress in 1994, transforms Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday into a "day on, not a day off" for national volunteerism, encouraging Americans to volunteer in their communities to honor Dr. King's legacy of justice and service by tackling issues like poverty, hunger, and education.

Realize the Dream was born from the belief in the power of service to not just help others but to also build understanding, empathy and unity between people and communities. It’s a bold call to perform 100 million hours of service by the 100th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's birth and a rallying cry for us all to make a difference through acts of love, compassion and goodwill.

Liollio Joins SC Aquarium for MLK Jr. Day of Service

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, Liollio participated in the South Carolina Aquarium's Litter Sweep and Food Drive at Harmon Field in Charleston on Monday. This event aimed to clean up the roadsides along the Gadsden Creek marsh, helping prevent trash from polluting the Ashley River. We are honored to contribute in keeping our community clean.
