#MakeADifferenceDayNATIONAL MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY

National Make A Difference Day gives everyone in the community a chance to bring their form of service to a whole new level each year. All sorts of Organizations join forces on the fourth Saturday in October to make a difference, in any way that they can.

Millions of people have united in the common mission to improve the lives of others.

The concept was formed when USA Weekend and Points of Light sponsored the first National Make a Difference Day more than 20 years ago. It was such a huge success that it became the largest national day of community service.  And even though  the two organizations no longer promote the community service weekend, the event continues annually, thanks to many like-minded individuals desiring to serve however possible in their communities.

All across the country, organizations and individuals alike utilize whatever skills required to help others during this weekend. Occasionally the weekend in October will change but for the most part it remains the same. But the difference made in the community is what truly matters. Through love and grit, the message is clear. Community outreach matters.
