Everyone Can Serve Day!

Join GMC & the greater Georgetown community for a day of community service to kick off MLK day weekend! With multiple locations & opportunities, there is a volunteer experience for every age & ability!

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. With the needs of our neighbors experiencing homelessness here in Georgetown continuing to grow, the GMC Community hopes to engage students, residents, and businesses to unite to help meet the needs of Georgetown’s most vulnerable population.
