Green Built Guide: January 2022

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country step up to make our communities more equitable and take action to create the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream. While Dr. King believed the Beloved Community was possible, he acknowledged and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action.

Our nonprofit's Energy Savers Network program is partnering with Hood Huggers International, Riverlink, Asheville Parks & Recreation, Asheville Creative Arts and Burton Street Community Association this Monday, Jan. 17 to facilitate engagement in community betterment projects in Burton Street neighborhood. We’ve identified projects of need in the neighborhood intended to support unity and sustainability within the broader community.

While ESN's project for this day is full, people are encouraged to attend this event and be plugged into other service opportunities on Monday. We also encourage interested community members to carry Dr. King's spirit of service forward by volunteering for a future workday with Energy Savers Network. Our program holds workdays every week to weatherize local homes in need as a way of building equity and sustainability in our community.
