Volunteers Give Back With Food Bank's MLK Day Of Service

Dozens of volunteers spent Monday giving back to the community.

"I meant to kind of honor the legacy and life of Dr. King, he was a big proponent of citizenship and helping other people. So, that's what we try to do today in our volunteer center," said Conner Carroll.

Several groups volunteered today, including students from the University of Tulsa and Americorps.
