Twenty-four years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the wounds still feel fresh for many Americans. One local organization has found a new way to channel grief into something positive — turning the anniversary into a day of service that honors the memory of those lost while strengthening the community.
Serve Park City, founded by Karen Marriott of Park City Humanitarians, has grown from a small group of volunteers to a network of community organizations. Each year, they coordinate dozens of service projects on the weekend closest to the 9/11 date.
“We believe in building community through service,” Marriott said. “This is a day that connects all members of the community, so that they come together and serve and feel more connected.
This year, the event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m
