Make it a Day On - Not a Day off! Local Organizations Receiving Funding for MLK Day Volunteer Projects
$5,000 has been made available in mini grants to local organizations participating in a volunteer event during the week around the Martin Luther King Jr Day of Service. This diverse group of projects will allow organizations throughout the region to celebrate through community service, volunteer recognition, and education. 2-1-1 HELPLINE Give Help was able to do this as a part of the Regional Volunteer Center of the Southern Tier, which is one of ten regional volunteer centers in New York State through the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Wake up with a Fresh Start to your Day
Try to do a few stretching exercises when you wake up. Stretching in the morning boosts circulation and digestion, and eases back pain. Also, don't skip breakfast. Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast is one of the best things you can do if you are trying to lose weight. People who skip breakfast are more prone to weight gain and have a difficult time losing weight when dieting. A balanced breakfast includes fresh fruit or fruit juice, a high-fiber breakfast cereal, low-fat milk or yogurt, whole wheat toast, or other nutritious options.
