Make a Difference Day is a national day of service where people come together to create positive change in their communities. In McKinney, this special weekend will be held on Friday, October 24th, and Saturday, October 25th, with dozens of volunteer projects taking place across the city.

Each year, families, students, clubs, businesses, and individuals join Volunteer McKinney to support local nonprofits and give back in meaningful ways. Whether it’s lending a hand at a community garden, assembling care kits, or helping with neighborhood clean-ups, every project helps strengthen our community.

How It Works
