GALLOWAY, N.J. -

Classes may not start for the spring semester until Tuesday, January 16th, but Stockton University held its 14th annual MLK Day of Service on Monday.

“MLK Day is really to be recognized as a national day of service," said Daniel Fidalgo Tome, director of Service Learning for Stockton University. "It’s really important for us to remember that the Doctor really talked about the importance of service, and his speeches and his works.” 

About 1,000 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
