Last Friday, Tribal Truth covered the 9/11 National Day of Service, a day where people remember those lost in the September 11 attacks by giving back to their community. According to NY1, the 9/11 National Day of Service was an enormous success in New York City with hundreds of volunteers working in soup kitchens and serving up free meals to homeless New Yorkers.
Workers were upbeat and optimistic, and they encouraged others to create something good instead of dwelling on anger. Volunteer Diana Mercado told NY1, “I consider it pay forward. I don’t want to dwell on the past. It’s something that you’ve gotta step away from and move forward.” She was spending the day working at a soup kitchen on the Lower East Side, and by the end of the day, volunteers had distributed meals to over 700 people.

Be sure and check out local volunteer opportunities all throughout the year!
Fantastic blog you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get comments from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!
