Some technical difficulties appear to be delaying the events we have submitted in honor of MLK Day from posting on the AllForGood.org website. So as we wait, we wanted to share some Indiana-specific causes may be a fit for you (feel free to write us here at the INOFBCI and we'll update the list! You can write us at "info" at "ofbci.in.gov"). You may notice that some occur on MLK Day and others occur on different days though they are still happening in honor of Dr. King's legacy).
