Volunteers to pack meals for needy on 9/11 anniversary

In observance of the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, more than 1,000 volunteers from across the Bay Area will gather in San Francisco to pack 275,000 meals for people in need.

The San Francisco meal pack is one of nine meal-packing projects around the country scheduled for Sept. 11, organized by the nonprofit that founded the federally recognized 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
