JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Staff from the Jamestown, North Dakota RSVP program will join in part of the National Day of Service in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

Area residents will serve as volunteers on the annual holiday while RSVP hosts a food drive in honor of Dr. King’s dream of opportunity for all by the way of the idea of beloved community.

“For Dr. King, The Beloved Community was a realistic, achievable goal that was attained by a critical mass of people committed to and trained in the philosophy and methods of the working in harmony with each other,” RSVP North Dakota states.

The annual event honors Dr. King’s legacy and is an opportunity for Americans to renew their vows of civic responsibility through service to others and engage in conversations to advance community goals.

Non-perishable food drive items can be donated at Papa Murphy’s, Unison Bank, and the All Vet’s Club through Monday, January 21st in Jamestown.
