Each year, Altrusa joins millions of other Americans on

Make A Difference Day. 

 

We select a community service project to tackle each year, plan our course of action, and volunteer our time on the offical Make A Difference Day, the fourth Saturday of October each year.

USA WEEKEND proudly sponsors Make A Difference Day with HandsOn Network. Newman’s Own is a longtime supporter.

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others. Held annually on the fourth Saturday of October, millions of Americans are rallied into a single day of action to help change the world.

Everyone can participate. Find a need in your community and use the power of Make A Difference Day to mobilize your family, your neighbors, even your entire town into a day of action.

 

Thanks for Helping

• More than 3 million Americans were out volunteering on last October’s Make A Difference Day. The April 8-10 issue of USA WEEKEND spotlighted the 10 National Honorees and three City Honorees receiving awards and $10,000 donations from Newman’s Own. That same week, the National Honorees were recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.

  Look at all the good!
