New Voices is officially off today in celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.
However, we hope you are also out making your day off a "day on."
If you still aren't sure what you can be doing, check out mlkday.gov for a list of projects going on in your area.
New Voices suggests: donating blood, volunteering for a clinical research trial, contributing to international relief efforts (particularly those in Haiti), and giving your time.
You can also try:
- Picking up trash or litter in your neighborhood
- Doing some community gardening
- Going through closets, attics, basements, etc. in search of donateable goods
- Collecting recycleables that aren't usually picked up in your area to drop off at a local recycling center
- Recording yourself reading books, short stories, etc. for the blind or children
It's amazing what you can do in a day.
