In honor of the upcoming 9/11 National Day of Service, the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC) is backing 19 Michigan organizations as they host volunteer projects aimed at promoting unity and community engagement.
Volunteers will be involved in activities to benefit veterans, military personnel, first responders, and will also focus on environmental preservation, disaster preparedness, and support for youth education. These initiatives are set to engage 2,800 volunteers, dedicating over 7,000 hours of service.
The MCSC has allocated nearly $10,000 in grants to support these initiatives. AmeriCorps has also contributed to the funding.
Projects for the 9/11 National Day of Service are taking place in communities throughout the state, with some areas still in need of volunteers.
