Insights > Entergy Employees Honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day with Weekend of Service in New Orleans
01/24/2022
Despite an unusually cold and gloomy weekend in New Orleans, community members came together to answer Dr. King's famous question, "what are you doing for others?" Rather than taking advantage of a long weekend to stay at home and relax, many Entergy employees commemorated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by joining local organizations and non-profits for a weekend of community-building and giving across the New Orleans Metro Area.
Take a look at how our volunteers celebrated MLK Day:
Kim Mitchell, Entergy New Orleans customer service analyst, participated in the Hoffman Triangle cleanup on Monday to honor Dr. King's call to serve.
"I strive to volunteer at least once a month to help out my community, but I especially make sure to volunteer on MLK Day," said Mitchell. "Celebrating his legacy with a day of service is important to me and the company's mission to power life."
Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day of Service supports Entergy's mission to create sustainable value for our communities through volunteerism and philanthropy, and we observe Dr. King's legacy by continuing to give back to the communities we serve. The federal holiday allows us to put his teachings into action by addressing social problems, advancing equality and empowering others. Employees are encouraged to continue to work together to support communities and generate solutions.
