How to get involved in Philly’s 2025 MLK Day of Service
Posted by WHYY on January 14, 2025
Philadelphia, home to the largest MLK Day event in the country, is gearing up for the holiday’s 30th anniversary.
Hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the U.S. mark Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day with acts of service — a considerable leap from what started in 1996 with 1,000 volunteers in the city.
The King Day of Service came to be via federal legislation co-authored by Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis.
