“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing to help others?’”

— Martin Luther King Jr.

The 29th Annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service will take place on Monday, January 15, 2024. What better way to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. than by lending a hand in a service project? The 2024 Day of Service theme is the 60th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and our partners are proud to participate in this year’s event.

Whatever your passions or interests, there’s a Day of Service activity for you. You can help with:

  • Food distribution and donation.
  • Equitable information sessions.
  • Clean ups at parks and recreation centers.
  • Voter registration.
