Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Day of Service is a defining moment each year when people across the country step up to make our communities more equitable and take action. Dr. King believed that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” as he fought for systemic change.
BOSS exists to serve the most vulnerable, high need/high-risk individuals in our community - those experiencing homelessness, poverty, justice system-involvement, mental illness/disabilities, substance abuse, domestic violence, and other challenges
