9/11 Day of Service a Success!
In honor of 9/11, more than 500 volunteers came together to spend the day painting a mural, cleaning vintage airplanes and creating an educational kid-friendly zone at Tomorrow's Aeronautical Museum in Compton.

"It warms my heart to see the volunteers joining together to make such a significant impact in our community in remembrance of 9/11," L.A. Works' Executive Director Deborah Brutchey told USA Today.
