Michigan Community Service Commission encourages Michiganders to volunteer on 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance
The Michigan Community Service Commission is calling on Michiganders to honor the legacy of 9/11 by volunteering for the National Day of Service and Remembrance. The Commission is supporting 13 local organizations that will host volunteer projects addressing critical community needs – from supporting veterans and first responders to fighting food insecurity – mobilizing 3,000 volunteers to contribute more than 8,000 hours of service.
“When we serve others, we not only strengthen our communities — we also honor the lives lost and the heroes who stepped forward on 9/11,” said Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Director Ginna Holmes. “This day is about coming together, remembering with compassion, and choosing to make a difference. We hope Michiganders will feel inspired to volunteer and stand alongside local organizations in service.”
Each year, people across the country mark September 11 through service — helping neighbors, supporting veterans, fighting hunger, improving communities and meeting other local needs. Volunteering turns remembrance into action and carries forward the spirit of unity and compassion that emerged in the days following 9/11.
