9/11 Day is a nonprofit organization based in Irvine, California, that created the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance as a federally recognized observance, now described as the largest annual day of service in the United States. Its mission is to mobilize Americans to rekindle the unity and compassion that followed 9/11 by performing acts of service that honor victims, first responders, recovery workers, volunteers, and military personnel. For 2026, the organization aims to engage more than 50 million Americans, support up to 25,000 grassroots service projects, and document 25 million hours of service. It also seeks to educate 100 million young people about the importance of coming together, distribute over $1 million in grants to colleges and educational organizations, and pack 20 million meals for people facing food insecurity. Recent coverage notes partnerships with AmeriCorps to support meal-packing programs across multiple cities, reflecting a broader collaborative network.
