On Monday, January 20, join the YMCA of Snohomish for the “MLK Jr. Day of Service,” a meaningful day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service. Across the region, we’ll mobilize hundreds of volunteers to strengthen our communities through hands-on projects tailored to local needs.
This event is an opportunity to take action, unite with others, and embody the values of compassion and service. Each YMCA branch will host unique projects open to volunteers of all ages and abilities. Let’s make a difference together!
