MLK Weekend of Service

United Way of Central Maryland and State of Maryland are excited to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a weekend of Service from Saturday, January 17 to Monday, January 19, 2026. In the words of Dr. King, “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” This is a weekend for Marylanders across the state to do just that in the true spirit of leaving no one behind.
