Vice President Marci Zogg says churches, schools, and other organizations ask for help with projects such as painting, landscaping, and building repairs. Then the United Way finds volunteers for the jobs.
"We take volunteer groups of any size, so if an individual from the community wants to get involved they can. If a neighborhood group, I've had those before, reach out to me and say 'hey we're a group of neighbors and we just want to get involved.' Also if a corporate team says they want involved, they can get out there and look as well."
There are 98 projects on the list for this year's Day of Caring on Thursday (9/15), and the need for about 1,700 volunteers to complete them.
Volunteers can sign up by going to the United Way's website - www.unitedwayqc.org/dayofcaring.
