It’s true what they say, strength comes in numbers. That’s why United Way of Thurston County has expanded its annual single-day volunteering bonanza to two days, September 30 and October 1, this year.
“Day of Caring is an unforgettable, hands-on experience providing volunteers an opportunity to actively improve our community while enhancing on team-building outside the workplace,” said United Way Executive Director, Paul Knox. “We felt that by expanding the event more people could experience the power of volunteering and make a bigger impact on our community.”
Day of Caring was established as the single largest day of volunteerism in Thurston County to increase awareness of human service organizations and demonstrate how people working together for the common good helps accomplish great things.
Volunteers will participate in over 30 different projects ranging from painting and landscaping low-income, disabled individual’s homes, harvesting food banks, and invasive plant pulling at locations throughout Thurston County.
