Martin Luther King Week of Service
During the COVID-19 health crisis, Catholic Charities depends on volunteers’ support as much as ever to bring community connection and caring to people who come to us for aid. We have a variety of in-person and virtual opportunities for you to engage with the D.C. community during the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week of Service from Jan. 18-23 and the National Day of Service on Jan. 18.
