Today, on the National Day of Service and Remembrance, we pause to reflect on the tragic events of September 11, 2001—a day that forever changed our country’s history. It’s a moment to remember the lives lost, honor the heroes who responded with unwavering courage, and recognize the unity that moved a nation. I, like so many, vividly remember where I was (NYC) on that fateful day. The shock, the disbelief, and the deep sense of grief remain etched in my memory. But so too does the incredible strength and unity that emerged in its aftermath. September 11th is more than a day of remembrance—it’s a call to action. It’s a chance to give back, to embody the spirit of resilience, and to support those who continue to serve. Whether through simple acts of kindness, volunteering, or organizing community events, we can all make a difference. Join us on this journey: Volunteer: Help us assemble Care Packages for our Military and First Responders. Organize: Lead a service event in your community. As we honor the memory of those we lost, let’s come together in service, kindness, and unity. 👉 How will you participate in this National Day of Service? #911Day #NationalDayOfService #NeverForget #Service #Volunteer

Today is RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS DAY 🎉 I would like to encourage everyone who sees this post to do a random act of kindness this weekend. Here is a list of some acts of kindness • Paying for a stranger’s food bill. • Giving a homeless person food or money. • Checking in on your elderly relatives or neighbours. • Donating to charities like ours https://lnkd.in/ePCsqsn8 • Complimenting people. • Offering your services to someone who may not be able to afford them otherwise but would benefit from them. • Sharing a word of encouragement with someone. • Giving a bunch of flowers 💐 to a stranger & tell them it’s random act of kindness day (pass it on 😊)… you just never know what someone is going through and that random act of kindness, could be the very thing that uplifts them and changed the course of their life! So your challenge; should you wish to accept it is 1- Share this post and 2- Do at least 1 random act of kindness this weekend 🥰💐
