The day is designed to provide a day of fun activities and awareness to the legacy of peace and brotherhood espoused by Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We are asking community organizations, citizens, churches, and local businesses to join us to help make this event bigger and better for the children and families in Broward County.

Join Volunteer Broward and Ambitious Kids, Inc. in collecting and donating 10,000 books to classrooms and school libraries throughout Broward County.

Our goal this Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is to engage students, families, local businesses, and service organizations in gathering new and gently used books and filling up empty shelves of school libraries and classrooms of four under-resourced elementary schools.

We need volunteers to help us collect new and gently used books in your homes, neighborhoods,schools,businesses, and service organizations.
