RSVP program collects items for homeless vets and vets in need for 2019 MLK Day of Service
Nevada Rural Counties RSVP program, based in Carson City, is collecting items for homeless veterans and veterans in need as part of the 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
The MLK Day of Service is not just a day off, but an opportunity to serve. Americans from all walks of life work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems. “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Dr. King asked.
Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King holiday to serve their neighbors and communities.
