About the holiday: Observed each year on the third Monday in January, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is a federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King and improve their communities. AmeriCorps has been charged with leading this effort for 30 years. What to expect: HCLT and Vision Cashiers will be providing trash bags and trash pick-up tools. We will meet at the Village Green Commons each day, walk along the Cashiers Ramble, and pick up garbage along the trails and roadsides. What to bring: Please wear study shoes, layers, bring water, snacks, medications, and anything else you may need to be out in the field for a few hours. This is a wonderful opportunity to get service hours, meet other service minded individuals in the community, and contribute to the beautification of your town!
