Granite United Way will host their annual Day of Caring events this September. Granite United Way works with community members and the corporate community to support the work of many non-profit agencies throughout the state. During these day-long projects, participating nonprofit organizations are matched with volunteers from local businesses and community groups. This day, set for Wednesday, Sept. 10, in Merrimack County, also serves as the “kickoff” to the annual United Way workplace campaigns.
Granite United Way is striving to increase the number of participants and projects involved this year. Last year, more than 1,330 volunteers completed 180 projects for local nonprofits. Granite United Way currently seeks nonprofits to submit projects for these events.
Nonprofit organizations that are in need of a helping hand are encouraged to register their projects by emailing Val Guy at Val.Guy@graniteuw.org. Project ideas include painting, washing windows, repairing fences, landscaping/yard clean-up, general repairs and much more. There are many volunteer options available.
Volunteers are needed to complete requested projects. Teams can range in size from one to 10. Each team member will receive an exclusive Day of Caring T-shirt. Contact Val Guy at 224-2595 ext. 226 or email her at Val.Guy@graniteuw.org to sign up. Shifts are available from 9 a.m. to noon, 1 to 4 p.m. or all day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) Day of Caring will take place rain or shine.
