Looking for things to do this September? Mark your calendars, because this month's theme is all about giving back, and there's no shortage of opportunities to get involved.
September 7 — National Food Bank Day Did you know 41 million people in the U.S. struggle with hunger? Chances are, you know someone — a neighbor, a coworker, a classmate — who faces hunger every day. Food banks across the country play a pivotal role in providing meals to families in need, and they rely on people like you and me to help. On National Food Bank Day, do your part to help close the food gap in your community by donating food, time, or money to your local food bank. Visit FeedingAmerica.org to find a food bank near you.
September 11 — Patriot Day One of the best ways we can honor the victims, survivors, and responders of the 9/11 attacks is by sharing kindness and spreading hope to those around us. On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, join with your fellow Americans to pay it forward by taking part in a volunteer activity. Head to NationalService.gov to discover how you can get involved.
September 16 — National Working Parents Day Along with meetings, deadlines, and navigating career growth, working parents are also tasked with being home chef, chauffer, housekeeper, boo-boo fixer, and much more. Every day, these unsung heroes go above and beyond to provide for their families, and it goes without saying that they deserve a little recognition. Think of ways you can lighten the load for the working parents in your life, and if you're one of them, give yourself a pat on the back for all the hard work you do!
September 17 — Constitution Day and Citizenship Day Constitution Day and Citizenship Day commemorates the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, and recognizes all people who were born as or have become American citizens. Think you could pass the test to become a naturalized citizen today? Take the civics practice test to check your knowledge of U.S. government and history.
September 22 — National Public Lands Day/First Day of Fall Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or not, we all benefit when our natural resources and public lands remain safe, resilient, and cared for. National Public Lands Day is the perfect opportunity to connect with your community through environmental stewardship, and it just so happens to fall on the first day of autumn! With activities such as trail refurbishing, tree planting, and trash removal, you can help keep our recreational areas, wildlife refuges, and national parks thriving for years to come. Find a volunteer opportunity at neefusa.org.
Fall may be just a few weeks away, but there's still plenty of time to buy a home this year! In fact, now might actually be the ideal time. Contact us to learn about the benefits of buying in fall.
