October 23, 2010 is Make A Difference Day!
For 20 years, USA WEEKEND and HandsOn Network, a business unit of Points of Light Institute, have joined together to sponsor Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of community service. Held annually on the fourth Saturday in October, Make A Difference Day is a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.

Let’s get out there and spend Saturday making a difference.
Tomorrow, my daughter and I will be taking part in a service project at her school, making sandwiches for a local homeless shelter.
I’d love to hear all about your plans for Make A Difference Day. Please share them in the comments section below.
Such a great day! In honor of National Make a Difference Day, I did a beach day clean-up with my mom. I’ve also nominated her for this great contest on the JIC site called Gems Among Us – such a great theme and some amazing stories have been posted! Hoping we win and can celebrate together!

We are heading over to the school to install a new basketball hoop, donate play ground supplies, clean up the grounds, and give the school a good deep cleaning. 🙂
