Martin Luther King Jr. Day isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s a moment to rise and support neighbors who need a strong start to 2026.
This year, Activate Good honors Dr. King’s legacy with Dignity Week: a week-long call to action focused on education, supporting unhoused neighbors, and addressing food insecurity across the Greater Triangle.
Choose from meaningful opportunities throughout the Triangle, including: Improving learning environments in local schools; Preparing or delivering meals to families experiencing food insecurity; Supporting community partners serving individuals and families without stable housing; Participating in neighborhood clean-ups and revitalization efforts.
Not just to Activate Good, but to the dozens of Community Partners counting on support during Dignity Week. Local nonprofits and schools are working hard to meet rising needs, and they rely on changemakers like you to keep their programs moving. Volunteer spots fill quickly, and registration is required.
