Timberline PTSA's Annual MLK Day of Service

A Day ON, not a Day Off

 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived his life serving others. Following his example, millions of Americans serve on Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, including Timberline students and families. MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.

January 19, 2026, will mark Timberline’s seventh annual "Day ON, Not a Day Off" day of service. Together we will work to improve the lives of others, build community, and learn about important local and global issues. This event is free and open to Timberline students and their families. Pre-registration is required. If you can't attend the event you may still help by donating supplies.
