9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance

September 11, 2013

Each year, millions of Americans come together on the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance to honor those lost and those who rose in service after the 2001 attacks.

Points of Light and HandsOn Network believes that bringing people together in service builds a permanent and positive legacy that rekindles the spirit of unity that existed immediately after Sept. 11, 2001. It brings together cultures, bridges differences and unites citizens of goodwill around the world.

Points of Light and HandsOn Network affiliates collectively mobilized 15,000 people in disaster preparedness training and building the capacity of nonprofit organizations to equip and mobilize volunteers in times of disaster. Grant funding was made available by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
