JOIN US AT THE 20^th ANNUAL DAY OF CARING

 JONESBORO, Ar. – United Way of Northeast Arkansas’ 20^th annual Day of Caring is Friday, September 27.

Day of Caring marks the kick off the annual United Way campaign bringing committed local businesses together showing their support for United Way.  Armed with paintbrushes, shovels, rakes and more they disperse across the city working at local non-profits and city parks.  Many local businesses see this as a great team building exercise as well as an opportunity to serve the residents of Jonesboro.

Volunteers may help build affordable housing, add a fresh coat of paint to a fence or wall, bathe shelter dogs, sort and pack food at a food bank, or spruce up landscaping. A group might work all day, only in the morning or afternoon. To participate, call the United Way office for a volunteer form for an individuals or a group, sign up by August 30 to be matched with a project.

Day of Caring begins at 8:00 at the St. Bernards Auditorium with breakfast provided by St. Bernards Medical Center. Lunch will also be served at the auditorium.

Show your team spirit by designing a t-shirt incorporating the Day of Caring logo!  Contact the United Way office for a logo we’ll be glad to e-mail it to you.
