When people come together with purpose, hours of service can create a lasting impact. 💙

In recognition of the 9/11 National Day of Service, The Men of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. showed what it means to step forward, work together, and serve our community.

Their dedication brought meaningful improvements to Wesley Community Center and reminded us that honoring the past can inspire action today.

Thank you for showing up for Houston and proving that service has the power to transform our community, one project at a time.

25 years later, we remember not only what was lost, but what rose in its place: courage, compassion, and the choice to show up for one another.

On September 11, we honor those we lost, those who served, and the countless people who stepped forward to help strangers in a moment of unimaginable need.

That spirit of service continues today in every meal delivered, every family welcomed, every neighbor supported, and every volunteer who chooses to show up.

We cannot change what happened that day. But we can choose what we carry forward.

Remember through service.
