What are you doing for others?

This MLK Day, we honor Dr. King not just with words, but with action. Volunteering with Meals on Wheels is a simple yet powerful way to answer that call—by delivering meals, checking in and ensuring seniors can age with dignity and independence.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a champion of service to others.

At NCOA, his vision inspires the work we do every day. We’re committed to creating the conditions for all to age well, so every person can live with dignity, purpose, and security. 💙
