National Day of Service and Remembrance
Join us on Saturday, September 6th, 2025 from 8:30am to 11:30am.
Honoring those we lost on 9/11 by serving our community together.
An Invitation to Serve
As directed by our Leaders, ten congregations from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Spokane East Stake will be hosting our annual JustServe National Day of Service and Remembrance. We hope to have several hundred members working together to serve our community and are inviting other churches, organizations, and community members to join with us.
Invite your friends – we want this to be a community effort!
We welcome other churches, organizations, and individuals to join our Day of Service. Please contact us and together we can determine where you best fit. If you have a large dump trailer we could use, please let us know!
