United Way Seeks Volunteers

Hundreds of volunteers will spread out in the seven-town area of Northern Fairfield County on September 9 to work on projects for local nonprofit agencies as part of the United Way’s Day of Caring. The volunteers come from local businesses and corporations that support the United Way and encourage community service.

In past years, projects have ranged from landscaping at group homes, to picnics for the disabled. “This is a great opportunity for businesses to become involved in the community, and for area employees to learn firsthand about the needs in our community,” said June Renzulli, president of the United Way of Northern Fairfield County.

This year is the 10th annual Day of Caring, and the United Way invites participation from area businesses, large and small. In addition, any nonprofit organization with a hands-on project suitable for volunteer labor is encouraged to call Bernadette Wolf, United Way manager, campaign and special events, at 792-5330, ext 29.
