Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others -- a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine, Make A Difference Day is sponsored locally by Whatcom Volunteer Center.

Make a Difference Day is a great opportunity to give back to your community. Join three million others in this national day of service as we work on projects that directly benefit the environment, people who are homeless, seniors, kids and victims of domestic violence. The types of projects you can expect to get involved with include environmental restoration, painting, light construction, working with youth and seniors, sorting clothing for the homeless, as well as many other helpful opportunities.
