Reflecting on a Meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Thanks to everyone who joined our Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service event on January 23rd! 

We had an AMAZING and INSPIRING group of volunteers turn out for our cleanup of the Central Germantown business district. We collected over 75 bags of trash in three hours! We’re talking big heavy duty contractor bags filled with trash littering our streets… Sad but true. Still, an impressive haul! 

This event would not have been possible without our community partners and sponsors. Please show them some love!

Partners:

• I Love Thy Hood
• Friends of Germantown NW
• Depaul USA
• With support from the City of Philadelphia‘s PHL Taking Care of Business Clean Corridors Program
