• Raise awareness of community needs and services.
• Allow contributors to see where their money goes.
• Afford employees a great opportunity to know each other outside of the workplace.

How it Works:

• Local community agencies and non-profits identify project needs to United Way.
• Companies and organizations identify their interest in participating in Day of Caring to United Way.
• United Way then links companies and projects together and manages the process.  Examples of projects include; painting, gardening, building a playground or storage shed for an agency.
• Teams spend a day working on-site on the project.

When?  Wednesday September 15th, 2010.
