Join Hunger Free America for our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Serve-a-Thon. Help us honor Dr. King’s legacy as a civil rights and anti-poverty leader and activist by volunteering to help advance food security in our communities.

Sign up for volunteer opportunities here!

MLK Day has been federally designated as a day of service that encourages everyone to make the holiday "a day on, not a day off." Read more about the Corporation for National & Community Service's MLK Day of Service.

You may also email volunteer@hungerfreeamerica.org with “MLK Day Serve-a-Thon” in the subject line for more information about how you can volunteer, host your own Virtual Food Drive, or if you have general questions about our Serve-a-Thon.
