BOSTON – Teenage volunteers marked 23 years since the 9/11 attacks by assembling hundreds of care packages for troops and veterans experiencing homelessness.
Creating future leaders
“We’re going to do the best we can to comfort them,” said Project 351 ambassador Annabella.
Project 351 is an organization that brings together teenagers from every city and town in Massachusetts to become leaders in the community.
The teens assembled 1,000 care packages that’ll be sent to troops overseas along veterans experiencing homelessness. The care packages contain snacks, toiletries and notes of gratitude. Gov. Maura Healey also pitched in with putting the packages together.
While many of us still remember where we were and the exact moment we learned of the horrifying attacks, the Project 351 teen volunteers weren’t even born yet.
“We want to honor those who we lost on this day as best as we can,” Annabella added.
