Make a Difference Day
Saturday, October 22, 2005

Make a Difference Day is a national day of community service sponsored by USA Weekend Magazine and its more than 600 carrier newspapers. Held in partnership with the Points of Light Foundation, the day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. The next event will take place Saturday, October 22, 2005. Ten national honorees, plus hundreds of local honorees, will be spotlighted in an April 2006 issue of USA Weekend coinciding with National Volunteer week, as well as on the program's web site. Volunteer projects can be large or small, and can be one-day, stand-alone projects or part of ongoing efforts.  The deadline for this year is still to be announced.
