We asked people from around the country to send us pictures from their 2009 King Day of Service events. From Denver to Miami, people chose to help out for a day and we have documentation. We may be facing record budget deficits in 2009, but I'll be damned if we aren't starting the year with a karma surplus.

We'll gladly add your pictures. Send them to projects[at]goodmagazine[dot]com.
