9/11 Day of Service
In observance of the 20th anniversary of the tragic 9/11 attacks, we invite you to support your community and join us in service at the Bay Area Meal Pack for 9/11 Day.
September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance (also referred to as 9/11 Day) aims to provide a lasting, living and positive way for the nation to remember the 9/11 victims, rescue and recovery workers, members of our military and the many others who rose in service in response to the 9/11 attacks. We honor them by turning 9/11 into a day of unity and peace, and by helping others through our good deeds. HandsOn Bay Area has been a part of this movement for the last four years, and this year we are honored to be working with 9/11 Day and Kids Around the World to host the third Bay Area Meal Pack. Volunteers will pack 200,000 meals to be delivered to community members through the SF-Marin Food Bank.
How can you help and be a part of this movement?
We need folks willing to step up and lead other volunteers to help manage the different stations of the meal pack. You will be an integral part of the event support team and will train and guide others. You will receive a 9/11 Day T-shirt, a meal and snacks for your shift, and a unique opportunity to develop leadership skills!
