 Our JAB Miami North community is filled with good citizens - people who want to help each other and who take the time to improve their community. Yesterday, many of us spent Martin Luther King Day not only honoring a man who sacrificed everything for freedom and equality, but also serving. After all, that is what Dr. King dedicated 39 years of his life doing - serving others. JABBERS are already doing so much in their communities, but if you've been short on time, JABBING is a wonderful opportunity to help someone by responding with a great referral or friendly advice. 
While the MLK Day of Service occurs only once a year, making a difference year-round can be done through the President's call to service initiative, United We Serve. Whether you want to give a few hours or a few years, start the year off by continuing to do good. Click HERE to search for service opportunities near you.
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
-Team JAB
