Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, the National Day of Service and Remembrance continues to inspire people across the country to honor those affected by the tragedy through acts of service and community involvement.
While many people volunteer on September 11, nonprofit organizations carry that spirit forward every day of the year. Through their missions, programs, and dedication to helping others, they provide essential services, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for people to make a meaningful difference.
This National Day of Service and Remembrance, ReEmployAbility is proud to recognize the nonprofit partners across our nationwide network who make that impact possible. Their commitment to service creates opportunities for connection, purpose, and community impact in communities throughout the country. Through Transition2Work®, these organizations also provide meaningful volunteer opportunities that support individuals during recovery while advancing their missions. ReEmployAbility works with a nationwide network of more than 53,000 nonprofit partners that help create positive outcomes for the people and communities they serve.
What Is the National Day of Service and Remembrance?
The National Day of Service and Remembrance was established to honor the lives affected by September 11, 2001, through volunteerism and service.
The day encourages individuals, organizations, and communities to transform remembrance into action by supporting causes that help others. It serves as a reminder that acts of service, whether large or small, can create meaningful change.
For nonprofit organizations, that commitment is not limited to one day each year. It is reflected every day through the programs, services, and support they provide to individuals, families, and communities.

Nonprofit Partners Advance the National Day of Service and Remembrance Year-Round
Nonprofit organizations embody the values behind the National Day of Service and Remembrance throughout the year.
Across the country, nonprofit partners address a wide range of community needs. They support food security initiatives, provide housing assistance, serve veterans, mentor youth, care for animals, assist individuals facing hardship, and strengthen local communities in countless ways.
Their work extends beyond the services they provide. Nonprofit organizations create opportunities for people to become involved, support meaningful causes, and work together to address challenges facing their communities. By bringing people together around a shared purpose, they demonstrate the values of service, compassion, resilience, and unity that the National Day of Service and Remembrance seeks to honor.
Volunteer Service Creates Lasting Community Impact
Nonprofit partners create impact every day by connecting people with opportunities to serve their communities.
Through volunteer programs, community outreach initiatives, and essential services, these organizations help address local needs while creating opportunities for people to make a difference. Volunteers contribute their time, talents, and experience to support missions that improve lives and strengthen communities.
For many individuals, volunteering provides more than an opportunity to give back. It offers a sense of connection, purpose, and accomplishment while supporting causes that matter to them.
Through Transition2Work, many nonprofit partners also provide medically appropriate volunteer opportunities for injured workers when employers are unable to accommodate restrictions in-house. These assignments allow participants to remain active and engaged during recovery while supporting organizations that are making a positive impact in their communities. At the same time, nonprofit organizations receive valuable support that helps advance their mission and expand their reach. This partnership demonstrates how meaningful work, volunteer service, and community involvement can create benefits for nonprofit organizations, volunteers, employers, and communities alike.
The Enduring Legacy of Service 25 Years After September 11
Twenty-five years after September 11, the values that emerged in response to that day continue to resonate across communities nationwide.
In the days and months that followed, people came together through acts of compassion, service, and support. Communities responded by helping neighbors, volunteering their time, and finding ways to make a positive difference during a difficult period.
Today, nonprofit organizations continue to reflect those same values. Every volunteer opportunity, community program, and act of service represents a commitment to helping others and strengthening communities.
The National Day of Service and Remembrance is a reminder that service remains one of the most meaningful ways to honor the past while creating positive impact in the present.
