Since 1995, the Monday Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday has been celebrated as a day of service throughout America, the only federal holiday that's considered a day on instead of a day off. Pinellas County employees and others gave back to their community through volunteer events on the 2013 Monday Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday
Volunteers contributed 168 hours along the Pinellas Trail picking up nearly 1400 pounds of garbage at Keep Pinellas Beautiful's Pinellas Trail Trash Bash.
Nearly 3 dozen Pinellas County employees were hard at work at Habitat for Humanity's Stevens Creek project. 51 homes are planned for this Clearwater community. On this day, volunteers were working on two homes, one nearly move-in ready but for the final landscaping.
