Gov. Hogan Announces Day To Serve, Encourages Everyone To Help

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has issued a proclamation declaring Sept. 11-Oct. 10 as Day to Serve month in Maryland. In accordance with the proclamation, Hogan encourages all Maryland citizens and state employees to select a day to participate in or host a volunteer activity.

In 2018, more than 25,000 Marylanders dedicated an estimated 70,000 hours for 270 volunteer activities for communities across Maryland.

“The Day to Serve initiative unites Marylanders in their volunteer efforts and recognizes the excellent community service that occurs year-round in our great state,” said Governor Hogan in a statement. “Our compassionate citizens make Maryland a leading state for volunteerism with their incredible dedication, and these selfless acts bring great pride to communities and our state.”

The Governor’s Office of Community Initiatives will kick off Day to Serve on Sept. 11 at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. Volunteers from the Office of the Governor, the governor’s coordinating offices, state agencies and the local community will work alongside Marylanders to clean up the park, organize a 9/11 remembrance ceremony and host a 5K run to support Wreaths Across America.
