Description

The United Way of Greater St. Louis (United Way), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and its collaborative partners will engage at least 5,000 volunteers in over 100 meaningful service projects throughout a 16 county bi-state region in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of September 11. Volunteers of all ages, ethnicities, beliefs, income-levels, and abilities will participate in a wide range of service opportunities that address critical issues within the community. In addition to projects, United Way will support educational events to foster understanding and unity as well as host tribute events to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11, veterans and active military, and local first responders. United Way’s efforts will serve as an annual catalyst for ongoing citizen engagement throughout the region, improve interfaith and cross-cultural relations, build capacity among area nonprofits, and establish a legacy that forever honors all those who were lost on 9/11 and all who rose in service following 9/11.
