The annual celebration promoting volunteer good works--helping your neighbors, your schools, your community--is sponsored by USA Weekend, 541 newspapers and The Points of Light Foundation.

The Wenatchee area has been a leader in the Make A Difference Day program since the beginning. In 1992, our local efforts led us to receive the first national award for a Make A Difference Day community.

The Wenatchee Valley received "Encore Awards" for outstanding Make a Difference Day efforts in 1995, 1997, 1998, and 2002, as well as an "honorable mention" for work in 1994.

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others -- a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Everyone can participate. Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October.

Millions have participated over the past two decades. This year, what will YOU do?
