Democrats Work (an organization that seeks to connect active Democrats with community service projects in their communities) is working with the Presidential Inaugural Committee to organize the "Renewing America Together" National Day of Service on Monday, January 19th (and the weekend before). On Martin Luther King Day -- a day before President-elect Obama will be sworn in -- volunteers across the country will get to work to bring about the change we need. We hope you'll get involved.

Here are some events that Democrats Work volunteers have organized:

Planting at the Duwamish Riverbend Hill - Tukwila, WA

When: Saturday, January 17th 2009, at 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Where: Duwamish Riverbend Hill
3910 S 115th St.
Tukwila, WA 98168

Info: Help restore an undeveloped parcel of land on the Duwamish River with Native American cultural significance. Your efforts will help to transform this area into a park preserve for the local community. Activities include planting, invasive weed removal and other restoration projects.

Help Northwest Harvest feed the hungry - Kent, WA

When: Monday, January 19th 2009, at 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Where: Northwest Harvest's Kent Warehouse
22220 68th Ave S (West Valley Highway)
Kent, WA

Info: Make Martin Luther King Day a day ON instead of a day OFF. You can help Northwest Harvest feed the hungry by sorting and packing food at their Kent Distribution Center. All volunteers should wear sturdy closed toe shoes, and dress in layers; please do not bring valuables to the warehouse.
