Special Event Details
September 11th Week of Service & Remembrance 2016
Dates: 9/9/2016 - 9/10/2016
As a leader in the national movement to preserve September 11th as a day of service and remembrance, Jersey Cares will engage 800 volunteers to improve their communities and state on September 9th and 10th, 2016. These volunteer opportunities will place a special focus on New Jersey cities with the greatest loss of life on September 11th, 2001, as well as a special 300-person project in Philadelphia. Projects will include landscaping, food sorting, kit assembly, mural painting, and brightening walls with fresh coats of paint. With these projects, volunteers will demonstrate that the actions of September 11th that were designed to foster division and animosity have instead brought unity and service both in New Jersey and throughout the United States.
