23rd Annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service

Posted by Global Citizen on October 9, 2017

Please join us as a key partner on Monday, January 15 for the 23rd annual Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service, the largest King Day event in the nation.

Last January, some 145,000 people of all backgrounds and ages volunteered throughout the tri-state region in the 22nd annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service. As a result: ​​

• 65,000 meals were prepared and served to those in need.
• 34,000 books were donated and sorted for distribution to centers and schools in some of our region’s most underserved communities.
• 56,000 hygiene kits or toiletries were donated and distributed to those in need.

As you plan for the January 15 King Day of Service–and ongoing service beyond–we encourage you to think about organizing a project(s) that embraces Dr. King’s legacy of citizen action, social justice, and meets the needs of the community.
