Who We Are
9/11 Day was created shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks by David Paine and Jay Winuk. David and Jay wanted something good to come from the loss of so many lives in the 9/11 tragedy, including Jay’s younger brother, Glenn, an attorney and volunteer firefighter who was killed while responding at the World Trade Center. They began with a simple idea: let’s take back they day by turning the anniversary of 9/11 into a day of doing good. Now 9/11 Day has become a day of national service across the country.
What We Do
In cities across the nation, 9/11 Day organizes large-scale volunteer service projects, called Meal Packs, that mobilize thousands of volunteers who together assemble millions of nutritious meals for Americans at risk of hunger. Participants not in meal pack cities can also create their own 9/11 Day service projects.
