As you may know, MLK Day was designated a Day of Service. President-elect Obama has asked Americans to celebrate the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. by lending a hand in their community this Monday. For the ATers in San Francisco, here are a few ideas for volunteer opportunities close to home:
Alamo Square Beautification
Northeast Mission Cleanup
Chinatown Community Improvement
Collecting Wish List Items- Lending A Helping Hand to La Casa De Las Madres
Children's Book Drive and Food Drive in Glen Park

...and lots more opportunities can be found for San Francisco right here.
