2025 MLK Day Service Opportunity - January 17

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, MGA's Office of Campus Culture & Community and Office of Greek Life & Community Service are teaming up to support MLK's Call for Service and Community, "Everybody can be great because anybody can serve." This year, we invite MGA students, faculty, and staff to volunteer with Backpack Buddies, an initiative supporting children experiencing food insecurity.
