Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service

January 18, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Free
Martin Luther King Jr. mural from the Philadelphia Mural Arts program

Join us for a day of celebration and remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr. in Fairhill, North Philadelphia. 

We’ll gather to volunteer and then remember the man and his legacy around a bonfire.

10am – 12pm: Help us and other volunteers clean and maintain our site, a 4.5 acre historic burial ground and public green space.

12pm – 1pm: Gather round the fire with us as we read aloud from Dr. King’s letters, sing songs in his honor, and warm up with hot chocolate.

Every new year, Martin Luther King Jr. Day gives us all a chance to turn our focus out towards our community and inwards towards what we have to give to the world. Stop by, get to know us and our projects, and meet others in the Philadelphia community who believe in the transformative power of education, nature, and connection!
