9/11 Day of Service
September 11 has been transformed into the nation’s largest day of service, known as 9/11 Day, and is officially recognized under federal law.
Each year, over 30 million Americans and others take part by dedicating time on 9/11 to help those in need, honoring the spirit of unity and compassion that united the country in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
MLK Day of Service
The Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service was established to honor Dr. King’s legacy by encouraging Americans to engage in community service. Although MLK Day became a federal holiday in 1983, it wasn’t until 1994 that Congress designated it as a National Day of Service through the King Holiday and Service Act. The goal is to make it “a day on, not a day off,” inspiring people to serve others and address social challenges in their communities. Projects include food drives, tutoring, environmental cleanups, and more, all aimed at building what Dr. King called the “Beloved Community.” The day promotes unity, equity, and civic responsibility. Today, it remains a powerful call to action, motivating millions to make a positive impact.
