Join us on Monday, Jan. 16, 2017, at the Unitarian Society of Germantown (USG), as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy by working together to serve our communities in Northwest Philadelphia.

The Martin Luther King Day of Service is a wonderful opportunity to affirm your support for the values of justice and compassion that ran through the life and legacy of Dr. King. Every year for over two decades, more than 500 volunteers have come to the Unitarian Society of Germantown, on Lincoln Drive at Wayne Avenue, to participate in service projects both on-site at the church and offsite at locations nearby. 

You can see this year’s projects and also pre-register at www.mlkphillyuus.org. (Pre-registration closes at noon on Saturday, Jan. 14.)

On Jan. 16, on-site registration and check-in begins at 8 a.m.; coffee, bagels and other light refreshments will be provided. A brief non-denominational worship service beginning at 9 a.m., led Rev. Kent Matthies, will focus on Dr. King’s life and accomplishments. Volunteers leave for their projects at 9:30. Projects last for varying amounts of time. Most will be completed before 12:30 p.m.. 

Transportation will be provided if needed. If you can provide transportation for yourself and others, we would appreciate it and we will ask you about this on the pre-registration form.
