The Greater Philadelphia
YOU can play a part
Join us for the Unitarian Society of Germantown
Martin Luther King Day of Service 2020
Pre-registration is now CLOSED
Because
of the limited number of people that can be accommodated at the off-site
projects, we ask that you pre-register. Please be aware that pre-registering does not guarantee
your requested assignment, but we will try to fulfill your request, if possible.
Pre-registration is highly recommended for on-site projects. It is helpful to us if you register in advance so that we can anticipate how many volunteers to expect and what projects each volunteer is interested in.
Brief descriptions of the projects are given below. To pre-register, review the projects, pick the one that interests you, then click on Pre-Register at the top of this page to sign-up.
Pre-registration will end at 12:00 PM on Saturday January 18.
Even if you are not pre-registered, come to the Unitarian Society of Germantown (USG) beginning at 8:00 AM to participate in off-site projects that have not yet been filled and/or one or more of our "walk-in" on-site projects.
