The United Way Day of Caring is a time for volunteers to lend their time, talent and skills in the community.
In turn, the community gets to experience first-hand the collective power of volunteers making a difference in the lives of neighbors, children and families. This year DOC is focusing on food security/ the Garden Project. Volunteers are needed on Friday, September 14, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday, September 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to help lend a hand at community gardens and clean-up. The project sites are below by date and you'll note additional opportunities listed in this reminder.
To register and to select a project site, visit our Volunteer Center at www.micauwvolunteercenter.org. If you have any questions, please contact Joni Risner 517-203-5028.
