(CNN) Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign is planning a nationwide day of community service, with staff and supporters participating in local volunteer efforts Saturday.
Biden's entire organizing staff and his endorsers across every state are set to lead a series of volunteer actions that the campaign said will range from organizing food drives to hanging signs in windows thanking first responders, health care and grocery store workers.
With Biden stuck at home and his campaign staff working remotely amid the coronavirus pandemic, the day of volunteer actions shows how his staff is looking for ways to continue its organizing efforts, which would usually involve traditional campaign activities such as house meetings, door-knocking and identifying volunteer leaders.
"We want to build community all across the country, and we are a campaign that's very focused on service and empathy," said Kurt Bagley, Biden's national organizing director. "We can still build that community, we can still take action, it's just that some of these things change a little bit."
The push marks the one-year anniversary of Biden's campaign launch. The presumptive Democratic nominee's campaign is calling it "SOUL of the Nation Saturday" -- using soul as an acronym for "service outreach unity leadership." Biden's website features a page where supporters can commit to a specific action, such as hosting or attending a virtual meeting, calling neighbors, writing letters and more -- or volunteers can submit a different idea.
Biden's supporters are organizing events in their communities. Democratic Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada plans to lead a volunteer effort to write thank-you letters to first responders. The Michigan chapter of Students for Biden is partnering with a nonprofit to call senior citizens in the area.
In Denver, two local officials are coordinating an effort to sew masks, and in Oak Park, Illinois, volunteers will send letters to garbage collectors.
"In the midst of our current crisis, the incredible grit and spirit of the American people is shining through. Doctors, nurses, other health care professionals, and frontline workers are putting their lives on the line every day to keep us safe and keep us healthy," Biden said in a statement.
"Essential workers are keeping our grocery stores shelves stocked. They keep our public transit operating. They keep the power on at the hospitals. They keep all of these places sanitary," he said. "Through acts of charity and community big and small, from sewing masks to stepping outside each night to cheer on these workers, Americans are showing up for each other."
