The September 27th Day of Action will illustrate how service transforms our communities
while simultaneously transforming citizens. This day supports ServiceNation’s vision of
an America in which, by 2020, 100 million citizens will volunteer time in schools,
workplaces, and faith-based and community institutions each and every year (up from 61
million today), and that increasing numbers of Americans annually will choose to commit
a year of their lives to national service.
• In Miami, Florida, volunteers will rally to clean up the beaches of Pelican Harbor
Island, a critical pelican rookery and habitat.
• In Gresham, Oregon, volunteers from dozens of churches will work with the city to
organize a “Graffiti Wipeout.”
• In Beaumont, Texas, residents will throw a “Party With A Purpose” that will offer
free health screenings on blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and HIV, as well as
chiropractic consultations.
• In Salt Lake, Utah, volunteers will help the Community Food Co-op distribute food
to more than 6,000 residents.
• In Topeka, Kansas, volunteers will spend the day reading to kids at the public
library.
