25 Years Later, Americans Unite Through Service | Indianapolis News

Over 700 volunteers flooded Butler University’s Hinkle Fieldhouse to pack more than 211,000 meals—blowing past their goal of 200,000—to honor the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Part of a nationwide effort where 50,000 volunteers packed over 17 million meals, this day is now being called the biggest day of service in American history. Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana will distribute the meals to families in need. Before work began, “The Voice” star Ephriam Owens performed “America the Beautiful,” reminding everyone to bring their best and use their gifts for good. The atmosphere echoed the unity seen 25 years ago—people from all walks of life, regardless of politics or background, came together as Americans, proving that collective compassion can turn sorrow into strength.
