About this project

The 9/11 Day of Service and 25th Anniversary Remembrance Event is an opportunity for the Triangle to come together and turn reflection into meaningful action. Hundreds of volunteers will support local nonprofits through hands-on service projects, honoring the spirit of unity and service that emerged in the days following 9/11. Read more and register here for a cause that speaks to you: https://activategood.org/9-11-service-remembrance/ Volunteer Registration for the Remembrance Event Morning Shift - 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM - https://x.gldn.io/e/YBNb3v1fN5b Afternoon Shift - 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - https://x.gldn.io/e/rJAq5m48R5b Each shift kicks off with a commemoration featuring the Raleigh Fire Department’s Honor Guard, moment of silence, the National Anthem and words from local leaders. Then, volunteers disperse to take on service projects throughout the venue (indoors) and visit the Community Connections Fair. This event benefits over 20 nonprofits and schools throughout the Triangle. The event will also feature three impactful community drives (socks and undies for Note in the Pocket, food for Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, and blood for The Blood Connection) and a Community Connections Fair, giving attendees the opportunity to meet local nonprofits, learn about pressing needs in the Triangle, and discover meaningful ways to stay involved beyond September 11. If you are not available for the event shifts, then please consider registering for one of the nearly 40 volunteer shifts taking place at nonprofits and schools across five counties that day and through Sept. 13. The call to action extends far beyond Raleigh. Nearly 40 additional service projects will take place throughout the Triangle on September 11 and throughout the weekend, hosted by nonprofits and schools across Wake, Durham, Johnston, Person, and Orange counties. Activate Good will connect individuals, families, and employee teams to opportunities, making it easy to step in and make a difference in a way that fits your schedule. Together, these projects create a regional movement of service giving thousands of residents the opportunity to pause, remember, and do something meaningful in response to a day our nation will never forget. This September 11, Activate Good is asking the Triangle to do more than remember. We’re asking our community to show up, serve, and stand united.
