Volunteerism
PHILADELPHIA — Hundreds of volunteers gathered at the Girard College gym on a freezing Monday morning to participate in the 29th annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service.

This holiday season is a bleak time for Ukrainian civilians facing another winter of brutal Russian bombing — especially when GOP members of Congress have sent Vladimir Putin a huge Christmas gift by blocking further U.S. aid to Kyiv. It is also a tragic time for Israeli civilians traumatized by Hamas’ vicious attack, and for Palestinian civilians in Gaza suffering horribly from Israel’s military response.
