9/11 Day is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by 9/11 family members immediately following the September 11th tragedy. Our organization created and annually organizes the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, the largest federally-recognized day of service in the country, in partnership with AmeriCorps and our hundreds of generous sponsors and partners across the nation. When we were founded as a grassroots organization, our name was My Good Deed and although we are officially 9/11 Day now, you may still see references to My Good Deed – that’s still us!

Of course! Your sponsorship level is for the total number of spots you’d like to reserve – this can be spread across as many or as few cities as needed for your team.

The sponsorship amount is based on the per-volunteer cost to purchase the food each volunteer packs – $225/volunteer.

Your generous sponsorship primarily helps to cover the costs of the food and supplies that each volunteer packs along with associated event expenses.

Yes! All sponsorship donations are 100% tax-deductible.

September is Hunger Action Month across the country. When we decided to host large-scale volunteer projects, we wanted to complement the great efforts supporting hunger relief that are already underway by our nonprofit partners and thus decided to focus on meal packing events.

Please reach out to our VP of Strategic Partnerships, Eric, at [email protected] to secure your volunteer spots at our projects!

We recommend using our Eventbrite platform to manage your team’s registration. We’ll create a custom link just for your company that includes all your reserved spots, which you can share directly with your team. As people sign up, a Google Sheet is automatically generated so you can track registrations and easily flag any updates or changes for us. Registration usually opens in June! If you have your own internal volunteer registration system, no problem—we’re happy to work with you to integrate it into our process.

Absolutely! We’ll make sure your team is grouped at the same tables (12–13 people per table) so they can share the experience and enjoy that team-building element together.

In early June, we will launch our Resource Center, which includes sample recruitment emails, flyers, and even videos to support your recruitment efforts.

In 2024, we partnered with more than 600 companies. You can check out the full list of our sponsors here.

We partner with the local Feeding America-affiliated food bank in each city where we host a meal pack, ensuring that all of the food stays local and, by working with the local hunger experts, we ensure that it reaches those most in-need of it.
