During MLK Day of Service, Philadelphia's community based organizations mobilized an estimated 75,000 people. Greater Philadelphia Cares engaged and mobilized 1,240 people in service over 11 projects. In one day, we accomplished 4,960 hours of community-based service through partnerships with neighborhood agencies. Volunteers revitalized neighborhoods, sorted coats, packed food boxes and beautified the spaces of a youth program and newly renovated office.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us make a huge impact on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 17, 2011.
