Description

Our Tributes are organized by Volunteer! United (V!U), a non-profit agency dedicated to mobilizing people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community needs. V!U was incorporated in 1988; in 2009 V!U merged with Capital Area United Way. Our mission has been, and remains, to connect people in the community with meaningful ways to serve. All three of V!U’s programs—Youth Volunteer Corps, Hands On, and RSVP—will be mobilizing 9/11 volunteers.

V!U will invite the community to Join the Tribute by engaging in one or more of three types of activities: writing letters of appreciation to military service members, collecting care package items for those members, and decorating banners to show appreciation for local first responders. We also plan to host a reflection event, perhaps showing the film New York Says Thank You, and engaging in a discussion about the continuing need for service in our communities.
