9/11 National Day of Service

9 Sep 2014

Land of Sky Regional Council will be honoring the 9/11 National Day of Service with "Operation North State!” a volunteer service project dedicated to recognizing the commitment our active military personnel make everyday to serve and protect. We are partnering with Operation North State (ONS), a nonprofit volunteer organization that packs boxes filled with comfort items and ships them to North Carolina troops stationed around the world as a way to support and thank our troops. For the past 4 years, ONS has sent thousands of boxes to our troops; all filled with donations of toiletry items, magazines and snack foods.

A simple project with a big impact “Operation North State!” is open to all ages and getting involved is easy.

Just collect and drop off requested items at
Land of Sky Regional Council 339 New Leicester Hwy, Suite 140, Asheville, NC 28806
Thursday, September 11th between 9am – Noon.
