President-elect Obama has asked Americans to create the change they wish to see by volunteering their time this Monday to celebrate the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr.
We took a look and found lots of events to benefit children:
In San Francisco: Children's Book Drive and Food Drive in Glen ParkIn Chicago: March the MartIn NYC: Create a Public School Library on MLK DayIn Los Angeles: Jumpstart Reading and Literacy Volunteer ProgramIn Boston:Online Mentoring for Youth with DisabilitiesIn Washington DC: Operation No Kid Hungry
