January 17, 2013: This year's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service on January 21 was a day on, not a day off here at WRCVFD. MLK Day is an excellent time to give something extra back to the community.
To find out more about volunteer opportunities at WRCVFD, call 354-3116 to speak with a volunteer. Or, any other day call Station #1 at 354-8201. Or see: Volunteer Opportunities.
WRCVFD is one of hundreds of organizations in states and cities nationwide to honor the legacy of Dr. King. In 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, directing the King Center and the Corporation for National and Community Service to carry out a day of service reflecting Dr. King's life and teachings.
David Eisner, chief executive officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service, said, Martin Luther King said, Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. We honor the life and legacy of Dr. King by doing things that help others and strengthen communities.
