This year’s official dates are Friday, October 26th and Saturday, October 27th. If you’ve been thinking about a project(s) that you would love to tackle, but lack the staff to help out, then Make a Difference Day is for YOU!
A national day of service, Make a Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others. Created over 20 years ago by USA Weekend Magazine and joined by Hands-On Network, this annual event is celebrated in every city and every state in the U.S.
From collecting clothing for the homeless, building playgrounds at a children’s center, landscaping an open space, collecting canned foods for a food drive or any other project that will make a difference for your agency and your clients; there are volunteers waiting in the wings to get involved.
To register a project, select the ‘get involved’ tab, scroll down to ‘Make a Difference Day’ and follow the prompts. Projects will be accepted until October 1st and volunteers can select their favorite one(s) beginning in September. So what are you waiting for?
