On Saturday, President Obama and the First Lady, the Vice President and Dr. Biden will take part in an event that's become a tradition -- a National Day of Service on the weekend of Martin Luther King Day to celebrate Dr. King's legacy.

No matter where you are in America, you have an opportunity to join this effort and serve your community. The Presidential Inaugural Committee has helped to organize events all over the country.

The White House says this National Day of Service is about strengthening the communities that we call home, and that's a goal that we can all share.

The president and vice-president encourage Americans to join in on Saturday, take part in a food drive or help paint a school. Clean up a park or help make care packages for veterans.
