Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff are volunteering at a Washington, D.C. food bank in honor of Martin Luther King Day.

Harris and Emhoff filled bags with produce and dry goods at Martha's Table, a food bank in Southeast Washington.

The two were joined by six local teenagers, who Harris greeted as she arrived. Dressed casually, in a ponytail and zip up parka, Harris dug into a box of potatoes and told the teens, "C'mon, we gotta get this done!"
