Lubbock taking a day on to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. While many area offices will be closed for the Martin Luther King. Jr. holiday Monday, some Lubbockites will be spending the day showing they're open to helping others. From home construction to working in gardens and building a greenhouse, there are plenty of hands-on volunteer opportunities to have a “day on” to celebrate the late civil rights leader. There are also ways to contribute without leaving your home, including an "MLK Day Conversation for Good" hosted from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom by the Volunteer Center of Lubbock. And there are numerous ways to donate funds to organizations in need.
