"Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve."
-Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The MLK Peace Bench Project honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. & his commitment to social justice & service. The goal of the MLK Peace Bench project is to strengthen community bonds, bridge communities, & stimulate interaction and dialogue between children, adults, friends, families & neighbors.

The 2009 MLK Day of Service will commerate Hands On Central Texas' year-long commitment to the MLK Peace Bench Project. Throughout the year, 100 MLK Peace Benches were placed in neighborhood & community centers, schools, nonprofits & churches ensuring the legacy of Dr. King continues in our community.
