Day of Caring - 08 United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties

filler table to make things fit.

September 4, 2008 marks the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties second annual Day of Caring (DOC). On this day, volunteers will join United Way partner agencies to work on one-time service projects and will show what it means to Live United.

Participating agencies are matched with volunteer groups from local businesses who choose to give their time and services in an effort to impact our community’s needs. Ideally projects will begin after Campaign Kick-off and end no later than 3:00pm. Keeping in mind that all projects should stay within a four hour time period, alternate project start times may be agreed upon by individual agencies and their volunteer team.

Day of Caring is a unique opportunity for companies and its employees to work together with local agencies to achieve a common goal that ultimately betters our community. It is a wonderful team-building activity that also markets your company favorably to the community. Additionally last year, each participating business saw an increase in its giving to the 2007 United Way Campaign.
