Day Of Caring - Pick a Project

United Way of Greater Lorain County's 16th Annual Day of Caring event in September is already underway. Day of Caring is a special event and wonderful occasion for donor's to see their dollars at work. Volunteers team up with our partner agencies and clients to complete hands-on projects at an agency, interact with clients, or organize an agency collection drive at their work place.

Participating in Day of Caring offers volunteers a first-hand opportunity to learn about human service needs in Lorain County. Volunteer work gives companies, employees, and community groups an opportunity to make an impact.

Day of Caring is also a fun day for employees to be out in the community and work with their co-workers in a different environment. It's a win-win situation; fun for the volunteer, and a big help for a non-profit organization.

Save The Date!! The Pick A Project meeting will be June 11, 2008, 8:30 a.m. at Lorain National Bank-downtown Lorain. Projects will be chosen at this meeting in an auction setting.

United Way is pleased to announce this year's Day of Caring Co-chairs: Kim Black-Brown from US Steel Corporation and Clarence Wills from American Red Cross.

If you have not been contacted in the past for Day of Caring, and would like to, please email our Day of Caring Coordinator, Robbi Hunt, at robbi@uwglc.net .
