Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

In 1994 congress passed the King Holiday and Service act. which then transformed Martin Luther King Jr. Day into the only federal holiday dedicated to volunteer service to honor his legacy.
This year Pacific’s Volunteer Center in collaboration with Black Student Services invites you to join us in honoring Dr. King on Friday, January 17, 2025, from 1:30pm to 4pm alongside fellow peers, staff and faculty and together take action and support our community.
We will be volunteering at Black Urban Farm Association (BUFA). BUFA'S mission is to positively impact health and hunger by providing locally grown pesticide-free fruits and vegetables. They also work together with their founders, volunteers, and donations to create an efficient and sustainable small crop, they highlight African American Cuisine and a plant-based diet.
