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.

The primary Visitor Parking Lot is located centrally on campus and can be reached easily from Emory Street. From Emory Street, visitors should turn left onto Pierce Street. Once on Pierce Street, take the first left into the Visitor Parking Lot.
Another Visitor Parking Lot is located by the soccer field, in a convenient but slightly less centrally located area. Visitors can reach this lot from Emory Street as well. From Emory Street, turn left onto Moore Street. Then, take the second left onto a gravel road to reach our secondary Visitor Parking Lot.
