The City of Highland Park in partnership with the Park District are coordinating the 14th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service to pay tribute to Dr. King’s legacy.  MLK Day of Service will be held on Monday, Jan. 16, 2023 at the Recreation Center of Highland Park.

Rotary Volunteers are needed from 10 AM – 12:30 PM. Attendees will have an opportunity to draw and write messages of hope and courage on white socks that will be donated to the homeless through PADS Lake County. 

MLK Day of Service will feature a keynote address on “Unity in the Community” by Gabrielle Cummings, President of Highland Park Hospital and a dance performance by Deeply Rooted Dance Theater. Guests will be invited to participate in a variety of service projects facilitated by local organizations. A drive-through donation event will follow from 12:30 – 2 PM.
