Days of Service
While there are multiple designated days to serve your community throughout the year, ServMO and the Missouri Community Service Commission join the AmeriCorps agency in elevating two official Days of Service: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance.

Day of Service: Service-based organizations across the nation plan a volunteering activity that will create a positive and lasting impact for local communities as a way to honor a tragedy.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Day of Service
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others’?” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On January 20, 2025, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday will mark the 30th anniversary as a National Day of Service. Each year hundreds of thousands of volunteers work to improve their communities to honor the legacy of Dr. King. You can do your part by donating your time! You can volunteer in-person or virtually.
9/11 Day
More than 30 million Americans and others participate, dedicating time each 9/11 to helping others in need, and rekindling the spirit of unity that brought Americans together in the days following the 9/11 tragedy.
Missouri’s 9/11 Day service activity is held in St. Louis each year.
