MONTGOMERY, AL, September 1, 2021 – September 11, 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that shocked and changed our great nation forever.

HandsOn River Region will oversee volunteer activity at area nonprofits and schools during a 9-11 Memorial Weekend of Service to promote service on this day and beyond.
Projects will take place on Friday, September 10 and Saturday, September 11 at a number of sites – in a school, on the farm, at a community garden and a senior center.
