One day each year Americans come together to help others. This day is called the National Make a Difference Day. It is a special day. It happens on the fourth Saturday in October. On this day, kids and families work on projects. They help to make their community a better place. Anyone can join to help.
There are so many ways people help on Make a Difference Day. Some groups clean up parks and beaches. Others visit animal shelters to walk dogs. Many people plant flowers or trees to make their cities more beautiful.
