"Dr. King made such a profound difference in our country, and I think one of the best ways to celebrate his legacy is to give back to your community," Shusterman said. "A little bit of compassion and generosity can certainly go a long way for those who need it most, like the senior citizens, homeless college students and military personnel whom this event will benefit.
The day of service will benefit the following organizations:
- Socks for Seniors
- Walker House
- The Clinic – Phoenixville
- Surrey Services for Seniors
- Trinity House and Student Closet – West Chester University.
