9/11 Day is the nation’s largest annual day of charitable engagement, officially recognized under federal law. 9/11 Day organizers chose meal packing not only because September is Hunger Action Month, but because food insecurity is an issue that transcends geography, nationality, age, and background - impacting families in every community, across the United States. Meal packing is also a simple, scalable, family-friendly activity, allowing for groups of all sizes, and people of all ages and abilities to participate in our events. The events are committed to distributing meals within the communities in which they’re packed, ensuring an immediate and powerful impact for food insecure families. In the Twin Cities area, we expect to engage over 1,000 volunteers from area corporations to pack more than 185,000 meals for hungry families living locally.
