Philadelphia Cares Day

For me, Philadelphia Cares Day hits home since I’m a product of the Philadelphia public school system.
This annual community service event offers a way for me — and you — to give back, raising awareness to the dire condition of the Philadelphia school system.
Schools need support in so many ways, whether in the form of tutoring, lending skills, and facility cleanup. Last year, through Philadelphia Cares Day, over 10,000 volunteers contributed 70,000 service hours, painting classrooms and hallways, organizing libraries and storage closets, and clearing rubbish from playgrounds. Since there were so many volunteers, volunteers were dispatched to local parks and community centers to perform facelifts as well.
