During even the most difficult of times, Americans have shown amazing fortitude in the face of adversity. From brave first responders to our selfless rescue workers, we are a nation of strength and resilience. In the midst of disasters, Americans have been moved time and time again to support our fellow citizens by rebuilding homes and communities. Even in the day-to-day struggles of Americans everywhere, community members show an inspiring willingness to lend a hand to those in need. During the National Day of Service, volunteers will have the opportunity to dedicate their time to service projects that strengthen our communities and support our neighbors.
