HandsOn Northeast Georgia and RSVP at the Athens Community Council on Aging (ACCA) are partnering to bring the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance to Northeast Georgia. Join the millions of Americans who will serve this September 11 by engaging in one of the following local initiatives benefiting veterans, military families and local public safety officers:
- Assist the Athens-Clarke County Police Department in the Forensics, Domestic Violence, and Crime Prevention Units.
- Get your hands dirty on a beautification project with the Oconee County Fire Department and the 9/11 Memorial at Station 8.
- Donate personal care items for the Northeast Georgia Homeless Veterans Shelter.
- Write a letter to military personnel through Operation Gratitude.
- …Or get creative and tweet your own “I Will” service pledge using the hash tag #911day.
Donations and letters may be dropped off anytime between now and September 11 at Community Connection on 1865 W. Broad Street, Suite C or at the Athens Community Council on Aging on 135 Hoyt Street in Athens, GA. For more information about the service projects, a list of suggested donation items, and additional drop off locations, please visit www.handsonnega.org or call 706-353-1313.
