Make a Difference Day (October)

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others — a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate in this annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October. Make A Difference Day is the largest day of community service in the nation, rallying corporations, government leaders, charitable organizations and everyday Americans into action on one day. Each year, 3 million people participate worldwide, helping millions more.

  • On November 3, 2011, the Volunteer Center Youth Coalition hosted its 4th annual Harvest Festival for the at-risk youth of Toberman Neighborhood Center. This event was in conjunction with Make A Difference Day 2011, one of the largest national days of service. Over 100 youth volunteers from all over the South Bay helped to put on this fun-filled event for the families of San Pedro.
  • The festival featured several carnival games and activities, such as a bean bag toss, a gummy worm eating contest, a pumpkin decorating booth and face painting. The dunk tank was a big hit for the kids as many of them expressed their excitement to dunk Toberman staff. For food, there were nachos, popcorn, snow cones and, of course, candy!
