Alabama State Parks joins the nation in honoring the spirit and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through today’s day of service.

🏞️Whether it’s service at one of our 21 state parks as a Volunteer in Parks (VIP) or service to a neighbor in need within your own community, we are better when we serve together.

💚Dr. King said it well, “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”

🌱🌿We invite you to serve with us this year as we continue a model of community and service. Join us: https://bit.ly/48BSAu6
