If you’re looking for a way to give back to your community, then look no further than Make A Difference Day.
Sponsored by USA WEEKEND Magazine and its more than 600 carrier newspapers, Make A Difference Day is billed as “the most encompassing national day of helping others — a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.”
Make A Difference Day is held in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation and supported by Paul Newman, who donates $10,000 each on behalf of 10 of the participating charitable initiatives.
Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. This year, that would be October 22, 2005.
If you want to take part in this very special day devoted to volunteerism, but you don’t know where to start, the Idea Generator — which is a great idea in and of itself — will help you “take that all-important first step to making a difference in the world.”
