The City welcomes all individuals and groups of volunteers who want to participate in this day of recognition of the September National Day of Service program. The program began in 2002 to pay tribute to those who were lost and those who rose in service to respond to the 9/11 terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
The City of Sequim is collaborating with the United Way to coordinate projects and volunteers.
