AARP Philadelphia Honors MLK Day with Community Service

AARP Philadelphia proudly commemorated Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in January, engaging in meaningful community service across the Philadelphia region. Emphasizing Dr. King's vision of unity and service, we partnered with local pantries, churches, Community Development Corporations (CDCs), and mobilized 15 dedicated volunteers to support our neighborhoods, aligning with AARP's mission.

Impacting Communities on a Day of Service
AARP's collaborative efforts spotlighted the importance of community service with local partners throughout the Southeast region of the state, including Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Pinn Memorial Baptist Church, New Journey Christian Center, Block by Block Community Clean-Up, and in Montgomery County at the Jarrettown United Methodist Church.
