The North America Northwest Area Day of Service 2012 Thousands of volunteers will join in service during 2012 throughout the North America Northwest area. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints began a coordinated effort in September of 2011to partner with other community organizations and service minded entities and individuals to provide community service, primarily to the poor and the needy. As part of this Goals of the North America NW Area Day of Service for 2012 include: Providing service to the poor and the needy Uniting our communities • Building bridges of friendship between peoples of all faith, faith -based organizations, civic leaders and community organizations The North America NW Area Day of Service includes a concerted community service effort by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in British Columbia, Washington, Alaska, Oregon and Northern Idaho. The projects are to be scheduled as close as possible to the date of September 11th to commemorate the sense of community that many experienced following the attacks on September 11, 2001. During the Day of Service in September of 2011, 576 members of the Selah and Yakima Stakes (Congregations) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and other community partners contributed over 2100 hours of service to various community projects. These numbers do not include the service projects conducted in the Kittitas County.

Of the 20 pre - applications received, 12 projects were submitted and reviewed on the final list for SRFB funding . Seven projects were recommended for full or partial funding. This, combined with the request from the Klickitat Recovery Board, is "$70k greater than the available Middle Columbia allocation of $1.776 million.
