Fort Mill to Honor Dr. King with Annual MLK Call to Service Day

S.C. Fort Mill.In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s lasting legacy of service, the Town of Fort Mill is preparing for its Annual MLK Call to Service Day. Residents are encouraged to commemorate Dr. King’s conviction that “everyone can be great because everybody can serve” by making donations to underserved local groups on Monday, January 20, 2025.

The goal of this year’s event is to support four important neighborhood organizations by gathering necessities for the people they serve.
