In 1994, Congress made the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday an official day of service. Athens, Georgia is one of the thousands of cities across the United States that decided to make this "A Day On and Not a Day Off." The MLK Day of Service Steering Committee is made up of government organizations, private businesses, and citizens. Partners include Athens-Clarke County Unified Government, Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services, Athens-Clarke County Stormwater, Athens Community Council on Aging, Athens Land Trust, Clarke County School District, Hull Firm, LLC, Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful, UGA Office of Service-Learning, and United Way of Northeast Georgia.
