As part of the Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, Gov. Ned Lamont, the Connecticut Office of Higher Education and Serve Connecticut are highlighting a nationwide volunteer activity that is being held throughout the United States. Sept, 11 is a federally recognized day marking the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks that encourages Americans to turn remembrance into charitable volunteering and good deeds.
On Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, approximately 50,000 volunteers in communities across the U.S. are expected to donate their time as part of this National Day of Service by packing millions of meals that will be donated to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Two of these large-scale, meal-packing events will be held in Connecticut, including one in Hartford at PeoplesBank Arena and the other in Bridgeport at The Redline Room.
