Make A Difference Day
What is Make A Difference Day?

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others -- a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine, Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. The next event is Saturday, October 25, 2008.

 You can help. Host a food drive in your community. Kid-friendly foods most needed include peanut butter and jelly, granola bars, cereal, canned meals, and gelatin and pudding cups.    In some areas, food banks are working with local USA WEEKEND carrier newspapers to rally volunteers and increase donations.
