The Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service gives the following descriptive information:
The national King Day of Service started in Philadelphia as a small project in 1996 with 1,000 volunteers.

Since 1996, some 700,000 volunteers across our region have celebrated Dr. King’s legacy by turning their community concerns into volunteer service and ongoing citizen action on King Day and beyond.
