Margaret Dickey, 21, volunteers at Bright Futures Atlanta as part of Georgia Tech's MLK Day of Service. It is Dickey's third year being a project leader with the MLK Day of Service and she says she does it because she loves doing service and it is nice meeting people in both the Georgia Tech and Atlanta communities while doing something good.
