In recognition of the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, VolunteerFest was held in conjunction with Patriot Day, a National Day of Service and Remembrance.

We are grateful for the wonderful acts of service, thanks to over 800 volunteers who participated in 30 unique projects during the weekend!

Our community lent its support, strength, and talents by joining thousands of others around the country in participating in service projects on this day.

We serve our community as we remember those lost and honor the heroes who continue to serve our country post-9/11.

"Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11."

— President Barack Obama
