Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His message of compassion, justice, and unity continues to guide us, reminding us of the power of service and the importance of caring for one another. In our work, we are humbled every day by the strength of families, the love they share, and the hope they carry forward — values Dr. King championed throughout his life.

As we reflect on his dream, may we all strive to extend kindness, uplift our communities, and walk gently with one another.

Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
