“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s contributions, the third Monday of January is celebrated as a "National Day of Service." This day serves as a reminder that we all play a role in creating a better world, whether through volunteering, raising funds or participating in small acts of kindness.
In Chicago and at our Morguard communities, there are numerous opportunities to engage in meaningful service on MLK Day and year-round.
