Thousands flooded the National Mall and the DC Armory this Saturday to kick-off the National Day of Service, the first event of the three-day inaugural celebrations.

Headlined by former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton and actress Eva Longoria, the event invited people from across the nation to learn about ways they can engage in community service and participate in various service events. Around the country, thousands more put together projects as part of the all-day community service event.
