Martin Luther King Day will be marked by Spectrum Health Lakeland in a variety of ways. The health system says MLK day is a paid holiday for its staff so everyone has more time for reflection and good deeds. Spectrum Health Lakeland has also produced a series of video stories about Michigan residents who met or marched with Martin Luther King Jr. They are available online. And since 2013, the organization has organized volunteer opportunities. On Monday, volunteers will distribute food baskets in Benton Harbor with Feeding America, and an MLK blood drive will be held Friday at the Consortium for Community Development in Benton Harbor.
