United Way and Volunteer Center is in need of projects
for volunteers to work on during the Fourth Annual Day
of Caring, which will be held on Thursday, September
23, 2004. These projects need to be “Done in a
Day” type work that a volunteer team can spend
a half day working on. Teams from companies, schools,
churches, families and service clubs are currently being
assembled to complete these projects.
“Each year more and more people are wanting to
get out on this day and make a difference,” says
Adam Twa, Volunteer Center Coordinator, Greater Ottawa
County United Way & Volunteer Center. “This
year we’re anticipating the same response, which
is why we need the community’s help to find meaningful
projects for our volunteers.”
Projects range from a senior citizen who needs help
with yard and home maintenance and reading to children,
to a non-profit organization that would like to brighten
their office with a fresh coat of paint and building
a community playground. “It’s wonderful
to see the types of projects that people submit when
they take a little time to see what is going on in their
neighborhoods on their way home or to work.” Says
Twa.
Project request forms are available by calling United
Way & Volunteer Center at 842-7130 or 396-7811 or
by email at atwa@ottawaunitedway.org. Please direct questions
and ideas to Adam Twa, Volunteer Center Coordinator.
