Leon County Government invites community members and groups to volunteer during the 9/11 Day of Remembrance and Service on Thursday, August 17, in the Yons Lakeside Estates neighborhood. To honor the lives and service of those we lost on September 11, 2001, volunteers will participate in a neighborhood-wide service day performing various home repairs in the Yons Lakeside Estates neighborhood, including painting, landscaping, soft washing, and more.
Volunteers can register online to participate at LeonCountyFL.gov/DayofService until 5 p.m. on Friday, August 11. On Thursday, August 17, at 8 a.m., Leon County employees, community partners, and citizen volunteers will gather at Crossway Baptist Church, 405 Crossway Road, to unite in service and volunteerism in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 civilian and first responder lives lost on that tragic day 22 years ago.
Since 2011, Leon County Government has held the 9/11 Day of Remembrance and Service to honor victims, survivors, and others who rose in service in response to the attacks. Annual volunteer events are hosted nationwide on September 11 and surrounding days to give back to the community in tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11.
