Make a Difference Day is a national day of volunteering sponsored by USA Weekend. More than 3,000,000 volunteers nationwide participated in Make a Difference Day 2009, held annually on the fourth Saturday of October since 1992. Ohio has led the nation in the number of service projects sponsored in conjunction with Make a Difference Day since 2000.

Last year, 130 volunteers shared their time and talent to help with nearly 20 projects benefitting local nonprofit organizations throughout Darke, Miami and Shelby Counties. Featured projects included providing free dental care to children and older adults, assisting with landscaping, serving community meals and even replacing the roof of a home belonging to a recent transplant recipient.
