Any Suggestions for MLK Day Volunteering?

“Dear PoP,

I’m wondering if maybe you could ask your readers to send in potential projects for MLK Day of Service (unless you’re already collecting info). Most of the city has the day off, and a lot of projects I know are always set up for people to go and help out within their community. For instance, a few years back I volunteered @ Roosevelt doing cleanup, and spent a few hours with a ton of people cleaning out their field house. I’d love to see a good list of where I (and others) could donate some time on Monday.

Oh, and here’s 2 sites I found:

Here are some opportunities from Thanksgiving but if anyone has some MLK specific recs please leave in comments.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
