Did you know that Make a Difference Day is this Saturday, October 24? Since the AFS family is already committed to making the world a more just and peaceful place, this is an excellent opportunity to come together for the common purpose of improving the lives of others.

There are many things you can do (in-person or virtually) to make a difference this weekend, especially during this challenging time! Some ideas include writing letters to those in a senior living center in your community, or volunteering at your local food bank. Check in on your neighbors to see if they need anything, or thank an educator with a care package or simple note of gratitude. It’s the little things that go a long way on Make a Difference Day!

Whatever you or your area team chooses to do to make a difference, please #MakeADifferenceDay and tag AFS-USA (@afs_usa) when posting to social media. We’ll repost on our national accounts and inspire others to make a difference too!
