What is Make A Difference Day?
Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing
national day of helping others -- a celebration
of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can
participate. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine,
Make A Difference Day is an annual event that
takes place on the fourth Saturday of every
October.
Who Participates?
Anyone. Young and old, individuals and groups,
anyone can carry out a volunteer project that
helps others. It might be as ambitious as
collecting truckloads of clothing for the
homeless, or as personal as spending an
afternoon helping an elderly neighbor or
relative.
What Can I do?
Your project can be as large or as small as you
wish! Look around your community and see what
needs to be done. Or let the Volunteer Center
help connect you to a project or find a project
idea to benefit your neighborhood! In
September, we will list local projects that need
your help! Call/email us to get connected to
these projects!
Fun!
Teachers!
Make A Difference Day is a great opportunity for
service-learning. The Volunteer Center has a
number of writing, reading, and art service
projects for your class!
