UPCOMING SERVICE PROJECT: Join Us on September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance

Residents will step up through service to mark the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks for the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance. Volunteers will provide clean up services, joining hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country in volunteer service.

Interested volunteers are invited to join with members of First Presbyterian Church, Harvest Vineyard Church, and the Walnut Neighborhood Association as they spruce up the neighborhood by picking up litter from the sidewalks, vacant lots, and streets.

• Meet in the Park Avenue parking lot of First Presbyterian at 3 p.m., Sunday, September 11. Teams will be assigned to spread out into the neighborhood. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided.

• Return to First Presbyterian Church at 4:30 p.m. to enjoy fellowship at the Sunday Supper served at the church.

The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance is the culmination of efforts originally launched in 2002 by the nonprofit 9/11 Day with support by the 9/11 community and leading national service organizations. This effort first established the inspiring tradition of engaging in charitable service on 9/11 as an annual and a forward-looking tribute to the 9/11 victims, survivors, and those who rose up in service in response to the attacks.

This event is sponsored by First Presbyterian Church, Harvest Vineyard Church, Walnut Neighborhood Association, and Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley. 

The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley works to promote and support effective volunteerism and to serve as the resource and coordination center for volunteers and community partnerships. To secure volunteer opportunities call (319) 272-2087, email information@vccv.org or visit www.vccv.org.
