About

This fall, as the nation marks the 25th Anniversary of September 11th, Volunteer Oxford is leading multiple community service projects as part of a growing national movement to permanently transform the anniversary of 9/11 into America's Day of Doing Good.

9/11 Day is one of the largest days of charitable engagement in the U.S., inspiring millions of people each year to honor the victims, survivors, and heroes of September 11th through acts of service. We are incredibly proud to be a part of that mission this year.
