At the United Way of Windham County, caring is their super power and they are seeking local heroes from area towns, companies, schools and civic organizations to participate in volunteer service projects across Windham County on Saturday, September 23, from 9am - noon for its 8th annual Day of Caring.
Day of Caring superheroes choose from a variety of volunteer projects, using their super powers to address the needs of local organizations and public partners. Last year, over 400 hours of volunteer time was logged in one day – a extraordinary demonstration of the caring super power of our community!
It’s time to put on your cape! The day will begin for volunteers at 8:00 a.m. with a kick-off breakfast at the American Legion in Brattleboro. Then, from 9am to noon, superhero volunteers, dressed in their finest United Way t-shirts, will spread out to sites throughout Windham County to provide volunteer service.
“The Day of Caring is an easy way to feel like you're doing something lovely for your community in a relatively short amount of time. We always meet new people and learn about new local non-profit organizations,” said a volunteer from 2016’s Day of Caring, with another adding, “It's my favorite event of the year!”
Day of Caring is sponsored by Holstein Association USA, People’s United Bank, The Richards Group, and SIT, with in-kind support from C&S Wholesale Grocers, the American Legion, Leader Distribution Systems, and Farrell Distributing Corporation.
