Sept. 11 National Day of Service

Sept. 11 is a national day of service and remembrance. On this day, you are invited to take part in one of a number of initiatives:

  • Stop by Helmick Commons between 10 a.m.–12 p.m. to pledge to vote in the upcoming election and to learn more about how to vote.
  • Participate in a Pathways to Racial Justice and Allyship webinar from 12–1 p.m.
  • Help make masks for youth at the Burt Boys and Girls Club in a socially-distanced mask-making event from 4–6 p.m. in Olmsted.
  • Participate in the “at-home” Reggie’s Sleepout to raise awareness of youth homelessness in Iowa. 
  • Drop off donations to one of the Little Free Pantries.
  • Volunteer for a volunteer opportunity listed on drake.edu/volunteer.
  • Or, create an idea of your own and post about it on social media.

Anyone who posts about their service on social media and tags @drakeservice using #DrakeServes will be entered into a drawing to win a #DrakeServes T-shirt featuring Griff. Learn more about the day of service. For questions, contact Amanda Martin at amanda.martin@drake.edu.
