9/11 Remembrance Day of Service in Lowell

September 14, 2019

10:00 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

Boston Platoon

Event overview

On Saturday, September 14th, join veterans and community volunteers as we report for duty for the 18th anniversary of 9/11/01, and honor those who lost their lives. For this year's National Day of Service, our Lowell Platoon will partner with Mill City Grows to support with urban farming efforts at the Big Farm in Lowell. Volunteers are needed to help with field work in the 4-acre farm, construction projects for the hoop house and new lean-to, cutting lumber and building garden beds for Middlesex Community Garden, repairing garden beds at a couple of local schools, building new produce storage, painting and sign-making, and more! This is a family-friendly event for ages 6+, and we will have music, snacks, and an afternoon lunch for all participants. Come out and make a difference with us in Lowell!
