Catholic Aid is dedicated to volunteerism, here is a great way that we can all log our good deeds and volunteer together for a great cause. Let's continue to remember the victims, families, friends, and heroes of 9/11.9/11 is increasingly being recognized as a day of service and an act of memory. For volunteers, 9/11 remembrance offers a unique way to give back by getting involved.
Check out myGoodDeed.org, an organization that is leading an effort, to strengthen the tradition of citizen service during a time of year many of us look inward. Founded shortly after the terrorist attacks to honor the victims, family members, and survivors, myGoodDeed has been a leader in the national movement to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 with a day of giving back.
The organization asks visitors to observe the week of 9/11 as a period of voluntary service by logging voluntary "good deeds" on its Web site, and the organization is working to make 9/11 an annual event and season of service.
To log your good deeds, create a profile at www.mygooddeed.org. VolunteerMatch.org provides more than 54,000 active opportunities and is a great place to find ways to make a difference.
