9/11 Day

2024 9/11 Day in Review | Atlanta Remembers What We're Capable of Doing Together

For the last 5 years, we’ve gone big to commemorate the 9/11 Day of Remembrance. The day of service that originated in an effort to “take back the day,” highlights the good that can be created when we unite in service. Together, more than 1,400 volunteers packed 510, 336 meals. The meals were donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank for distribution to families across the region.

Thousands of volunteers pack 1.5 million meals for families across Metro Atlanta

Over the course of just 2 days, close to 6,000 volunteers came together to pack almost 1.5 million meals that will be distributed here locally in Metro Atlanta. Hands On Atlanta was there with support staff volunteers to ensure the Million Meal Pack at State Farm Arena and the 9/11 Day of Remembrance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium hit their meal packing goals. Learn more about these fun and meaningful events and how you can get involved in our fight against food insecurity.
