LA Works 9/11 Support Project

September 10, 2018

12:00 PM - 05:00 PM PDT

Los Angeles Platoon

Event overview

This important event hosted by LA Works is one of six signature 9/11 Day-supported projects being held in observance of this year’s anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Other event locations include NYC, Phoenix, and San Francisco. In the Los Angeles area, LA Works expects to engage over 1,000 volunteers from area companies, organizations, and other groups to pack more than 300,000 meals for distribution to children, families, seniors, and military veterans in the Los Angeles area at risk of hunger. 9/11 Day is now the nation’s largest annual day of charitable engagement, officially recognized under federal law. Each 9/11, nearly 30 million Americans volunteer, donate to charities, and perform other good deeds to promote national unity and empathy, in honor of the victims of 9/11 and those who rose in service in response to the attacks. You will be helping us set up all of the packaging lines, equipment, signage, staging ingredients, and all that is needed to prepare the space for the next day’s activity. You will need to also register at the L.A. Works website: https://www.laworks.com/opportunity/a0C1N00000Yrv10

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
