It's National Day of Service!

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we're asked to make it "a day on, not a day off" for National Day of Service. While LiveFeed doesn't have any shows on today's schedule, there are still lots of opportunities to help St. Louis' hungry citizens.

University of Missouri - St. Louis hosts their first annual MLK Day Challenge, with volunteer opportunities on 13 service projects.

You can help the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry sort donations at their 10950 Schuetz Rd. facility. Call Kelly Mueller at 314-812-9386 if you want to help.

Gateway Homeless Services also needs help cleaning and organizing their food distribution warehouse at 3965 Park Ave.

The Caronddlet Community Betterment Federation is hosting a food drive, prayer service and march from 9:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Make donations at CSJ Motherhouse, 6400 Minnesota Ave.

The Missouri Public Interest Research Group Student Chapter of Meramec Community College is holding a food and toiletries drive to stock local shelters with essentials. They're collecting items at the student union, starting at noon.

Communication Workers of America Local 6300 will collect food at all St. Louis-area AT&T locations for distribution to local food banks.

Don't forget that you can help directly at the source any day of the year. Check out Operation Food Search's wish list or sign up to volunteer with Food Outreach.

Tuesday night, come celebrate the inauguration with LiveFeed at The Gramophone (4243 Manchester Ave.). DJ Crucial spins the tunes starting at 8:00 P.M. No cover charge.
