uniting in service

On January 19, 2026, thousands of Atlantans will come together in a powerful day of service, reflection, and community to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As we join this citywide movement, Hands On Atlanta proudly supports The King Center’s call to reflect, rejoice, and recommit to building the Beloved Community through nonviolent action and shared purpose.

VOLUNTEER
Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
— Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
