About the Volunteer Opportunity
In observance of the 22nd Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and in alignment with this year’s CNCS Day of Remembrance theme, United Through Service, Serve DC is co-hosting a meal pack with 9/11Day.org. We are looking for motivated, service-oriented volunteers to help execute a large-scale hunger relief event on Monday, September 11, 2023.
During this event we expect to engage over 1000 volunteers from area corporations to pack more than 310,000 meals for families living in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
9/11 Day is now the nation’s largest annual day of charitable engagement, officially recognized under federal law. Each 9/11, nearly 30 million Americans volunteer, donate to charities, and perform other good deeds to promote national unity and empathy, in honor of the victims of 9/11 and those who rose in service in response to the attacks.
There will also be on-site entertainment, guest emcees, a diverse group of faith leaders, community and corporate leaders.
Listed below are a variety of positions that are critical to our success.
