Martin Luther King Day
Honor the philosophy and legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in a one-day service project to help local charities and/ or entering a writing contest.
Volunteer on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
HFCC's campus is closed on January 19, 2009 in observance of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. So take time that day to volunteer with one of many local organizations, such as senior centers, schools, a Native American agency, food charities and more.
You’ll be working side by side with students, staff and faculty from HFCC and other colleges. HFCC's partners include the University of Michigan-Dearborn, Madonna and Lawrence Technological Universities and the United Way for Southeastern Michigan.

The writing must be typed and related to Martin Luther King Jr. and/ or community service using the selected theme. Each submission will be judged on originality, grammar, artistic value, and passion. Deadline for submissions is December 10, 2008.
