On Thursday, September 13, hundreds of volunteers will partner with United Way's Volunteer Center to serve area neighborhoods through community-based projects.

The Volunteer Center needs your help to recruit volunteer teams to send out across the region to those nonprofits where they can make the most impact on one day.

Day of Caring projects are good team-building opportunities for your organization. These projects are also a great way to create impact in your community and to see some important work that's being done in our area. 

In 2011, more than 300 volunteers worked on 28 projects ranging from building houses to cleaning up tornado damage. Read more about it here.

But the Volunteer Center can't do it without you. You can volunteer yourself and your coworkers by emailing Windy Brooks at windybrooks@uwchatt.org or call United Way's Volunteer Center at 423-752-0316.
