Points of Light, with support from KPMG Foundation and the Corporation for National and Community Service, will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 15 by engaging more than 90,000 individuals in acts of service through 1,575 service projects and civic dialogue events in more than 50 communities in partnership with local Points of Light affiliates and nonprofits across the country. MLK Day marks the beginning of the service year as hundreds of thousands of individuals will honor the memory of Dr. King by contributing their time, talent and voice to improve their communities.
MLK Day of Service is an opportunity to remember history and re-commit ourselves as citizens by volunteering in service to one another. It is also a time to consider how much work still remains to fulfill Dr. King’s dream. We at Common Impact believe service is a powerful tool for strengthening the communities in which we live and work.

At Comcast NBCUniversal, making a positive impact in the communities where our employees live and work is a core value that we embrace all year long.
Through our partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters, for example, hundreds of our employees mentor local school children at Comcast offices nationwide. They also serve as ambassadors to their local communities to help underserved families bridge the digital divide through access to technology. Additionally, our employees share their professional skills, from marketing, human resources and legal expertise, to help strengthen nonprofit organizations.
Each year, we celebrate this year-round commitment to communities through Comcast Cares Day, which this year will take place on April 21.
