Paying Tribute

Join us on September 11th to renew our community spirit of service inspired by those who came forward in service after the attacks. Through community volunteering, we can be reminded how working more closely together can improve our neighborhoods, our towns and our country.

We will kick-off the day with a fun and inspiring rally with hundreds of volunteers and community members at San Jose City Hall. Attendees will enjoy continental breakfast, musical entertainment, local speakers, and have a chance to win fabulous door prizes, including an Apple Watch. Volunteers will also receive specific details about their project assignment and pick up their event t-shirt.

After the rally, volunteers will be deployed to their project site. All projects are helping to build the capacity of local nonprofits that help families, seniors and veterans who are trying to make ends meet. Projects that include painting, gardening, and cleaning will leave a lasting impact and create visible change.

Whether you can help out the whole time or just join us for the rally, we look forward to seeing you there!
