A day of service is planned in Friday Harbor on Jan. 19, a legal holiday and birthday of the late civil rights leader, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Volunteers will meet at the Mullis Community Senior Center parking lot at 2 p.m. for two hours of volunteer service. Beneficiaries include Mullis Center, the Food Bank and the Family Resource Center.

An informal ceremony will be held in King’s honor at 4 p.m. at Mullis Center. Hot chocolate and cider will be served following the gathering.

In 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act. Americans are asked to celebrate King’s legacy by participating in community service.
