In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, the City of Marysville invites residents to come together in the spirit of unity, service and community impact. This annual holiday, observed as a “day on, not a day off,” encourages individuals to honor Dr. King’s legacy through meaningful action. In Marysville, residents can volunteer for four service opportunities, offering community members a variety of ways to give back and make a positive difference alongside neighbors and local partners.
