Newport News,
Virginia (July 5, 2018)-
United Way’s Day of
Caring is a long standing
tradition that kicks off the
annual campaign and has
joined caring volunteers
with community agencies,
schools and organizations
in volunteer opportunities
for years. Together, the
partnerships create
stronger communities and
healthier people through
a wide variety of service
projects. This year’s Day
of Caring is set or Friday,
September 7th, 2018.
Help spread
kindness and make
change this year by signing
up to volunteer for
Day of Caring 2018.
Projects completed
through United Way’s
Day of Caring will allow
local agencies to complete
projects most groups
could not undertake on
their own. Every project is
a change to make connections
to create a better
place to live.
Last year, in our
service area, nearly 60
projects were completed
by over 800 volunteers,
making Day of Caring one
of the largest single-day
volunteer events in our
community. This year,
United Way volunteers
will be organizing, gardening,
landscaping,
painting, packing food,
building and more. No
group is too big or too
small and every helping
hand counts; there are
projects available for all
skill levels.

information, a current list
of projects, and to sign up

Caring, visit: www.uwvp.org.
United Way
believes we can achieve
more together than any of
us could do on our own.
That's why our board is
committed to our mission
of uniting people, organizations,
and resources to
improve lives in the
Virginia Peninsula. By
fostering community
partnerships, we can
champion shared goals
and align resources to
deliver innovative, holistic
solutions to our community's
most pressing
issues, with a focus on
coming together to break
the cycle of poverty.
Whether United
Way is funding others to
provide services, delivering
services or coordinating
collaborative programs,
we are working
together to create a path
to stability and self-sufficiency.
By focusing on the
building blocks of health,
education, and financial
stability to create
"Pathways Out of
Poverty”, we don't just
change lives - we change
what's possible.
