Also known as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, many people came together through the group OneOC that joined volunteers with organizations in need of helpers. In total about 1,200 residents pitched in on Monday, to answer what King called "life's most persistent and urgent question [which] is: 'what are you doing for others?'"
Thanks to the Orange County Register, below are some great images that captured the spirit of the day.
