On September 11, 2026, to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, more than 500 volunteers from the San Francisco Bay Area will join a massive nationwide movement to "Honor Through Action." As part of the largest annual day of service in U.S. history, organized and led by the nonprofit 9/11 Day, volunteers will pack more than 160,000 healthy, non-perishable meals for local families at risk of hunger. All meals packed will be donated to San Francisco Marin Food Bank for distribution to individuals and families in need in San Francisco and Marin Counties.
This year’s milestone nationwide observance includes the participation of and partnerships with thousands of corporations, nonprofits, educational institutions, faith-based organizations and five major U.S. professional sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and MLS), among others. The national observance coincides with the release of a major new independent documentary film exploring the 25-year evolution of 9/11 Day and service as a defining way Americans honor the day.
According to Feeding America, tens of millions of Americans continue to face food insecurity. Now in its 4th year, the San Francisco Meal Pack is one of 50 large-scale volunteer service projects being organized nationwide by the nonprofit 9/11 Day. This 25th anniversary effort is expected to mobilize 50,000 volunteers to pack about 20 million meals, helping to unify and strengthen communities through shared action.
NOTE: This is a private volunteer service event for registered Meal Pack participants. The event has opportunities for support staff volunteers.
