The Michigan Community Service Commission will provide funding for 14 Michigan organizations hosting volunteer projects for the 9/11 National Day of Service that will support veterans, hunger, homelessness, and other community needs. The projects will engage 3,100 volunteers who will serve an estimated 9,800 hours of service.

“Serving others is a wonderful way to unite individuals and strengthen communities to restore the spirit of kind-heartedness that followed the 9/11 tragedy,” said Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Director Ginna Holmes. “We encourage everyone to find a way to volunteer and make a difference.”

The Michigan Community Service Commission issued nearly $16,000 in grants ranging from $100 to $1,000. A portion of the funding has been provided through a grant from AmeriCorps.
