Background:

From September 9th through September 15th The Volunteer Center has worked with nonprofits in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland to develop service opportunities where hundreds of people can give back. Projects include blood, book & food drives; art projects to commemorate heroism; trail and park clean ups; veteran and military outreach; a special presentation & discussion of New York Says Thank You (which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival), which poignantly illustrates how New Yorkers gave back to others throughout America in the year’s since 9/11.

    

Projects are taking place at  more than 25 nonprofits in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland, including on 9/11 at The Rising memorial to local 9/11 victims at the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla

Why:       

There was huge focus on last year’s 10th anniversary. We believe every year is important. The families of victims worked tirelessly to established support for the creation of the National Day of Service. Last year, in a span of 5 hours, 1,000 people came to the Westchester County Center to volunteer and learn about the ongoing needs of nonprofits.  How can we do less one year later?
