The Clorox Company is broadening its existing collaborative relationship with the civic initiative Realize the Dream through a new program called Every Hour Counts, which pledges a contribution of three hundred thousand employee volunteer hours toward the partner organization's broader goal of amassing one hundred million service hours globally. The organization plans to achieve this for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 100th birthday.
Every Hour Counts is a multi-year commitment that will concentrate volunteer hours in sectors like education, family, and community wellbeing.
Martin Luther King III and Arndrea Waters King, Co-Founders of Realize the Dream, shared: "The Clorox Company's pledge of 300,000 hours is a powerful step toward our goal of 100 million hours of service by 2029. That is how we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., by rolling up our sleeves and working side by side to build the future our children deserve."
