Volunteer Fairfax 9/11 Day of Service to Benefit ACCA

For over 20 years, Volunteer Fairfax has hosted its annual fall volunteering event, VolunteerFest, to mobilize volunteers across Fairfax County to help nonprofits and government agencies accomplish wish list projects, meet new volunteers and secure donation needs. We are honored to work with Volunteer Fairfax on a special day of service happening across the country. This year VolunteerFest will take place on Saturday, September 11 or Patriot Day, a National Day of Service and Remembrance. 

ACCA’s at-home project will ask volunteers to assemble first aid kits from the safety of their homes. The first aid kits you make will be distributed to families who receive food from the Annandale Christian Community for Action (ACCA) food pantry.  Kits can be assembled anytime before 9/11. Kits can be dropped off at ACCA between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on September 11. This is a good project for scouts or youth groups!
