Where To Volunteer Near Norristown On Martin Luther King Day

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is all about giving back to the community, and there is no shortage of ways to do so near Phoenixville and around Chester County.

King, a social activist and prominent voice for quality and justice around the country in the 1960s, has inspired generations of citizens to heed his call to service.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?” he famously asked.

King was assassinated in 1968 and instantly became a martyr for his causes. President Ronald Reagan officially signed Martin Luther King Day into law in 1983.

Community service groups, high schools, middle schools, universities, and other organizations around the nation gather the public at events serving their local area.
