Description

The Department in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Council on Aging (PCoA) and its five Regional Councils on Aging will work with local Senior Centers and First Responders throughout Pennsylvania to implement a National Day of Service and Remembrance. The Pennsylvania Day for Moving the Spirit Forward project will be organized by 35 Regional PCoA members from all corners of Pennsylvania. These 35 local volunteers will work with their Senior Centers to mobilize additional volunteers for a day of service and remembrance throughout their communities. We anticipate that each of the 35 Regional members will be able to mobilize 2 Senior Centers for a total of 50 additional volunteers per center; this will result in a total of 1,785 volunteers. September 9, 2011 would be the formal day of service and remembrance.
