Make it a Day On... Not a Day Off!
 

Initiated by Congress in 1994, King Day of Service builds on the legacy by transforming the federal holiday honoring Dr. King into a national day of community service grounded in his teachings of nonviolence and social justice. The aim is to make the holiday a day ON, where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to improve lives, bridge social barriers, and move our nation closer to the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King envisioned.   Exciting Announcement: President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden and their families have both committed to serving on the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.

Hannah's House Renovation
For Martin Luther King Day, a day of national service, the SAVY Leaders of 2008-2009 are helping an organization called Hannah’s House. Hannah’s house is a place where supervised visitations and exchanges of children between divorced/ separated/ non married parents can occur safely. SAVY is assisting Hannah’s House because of the need to update their facilities as a result of the growing demands for their services. Over the years, the Hannah’s House facilities have deteriorated and become too difficult to maintain. It is SAVY’s mission to help repaint, refurbish and restore Hannah’s House so that it can be evolved into an even more welcoming haven for children and parents alike.

Who Can Volunteer: ANYONE! We will even have a kid’s corner, where children can do service projects too!
