Days of Caring a Success!
 United Way's annual Days of Caring is the largest two-day volunteer event in Snohomish County.
This year, 769 volunteers in 63 teams from 43 organizations and companies participated in 36 projects throughout the county. The estimated financial impact of their almost 4,000 hours of work is over $85,000!
Pictures from this year's event are posted on our Facebook page. Thank you to all who volunteered this year! |
Campaign Update
In early September, new campaign executives joined our team and began preparing for another successful campaign. We're really looking forward to Community Transit's campaign, led by CEO and United Way's 2012 Campaign Chair Joyce Eleanor.
At a recent meeting, Union leaders from ATU 1576 and IAM & AW Local 130, and Community Transit shop stewards learned more about United Way's impact in the community. Union and non-union staff are looking forward to "Getting on Board" and working together this year. We can't wait to see the results! |
 Youth United's Teen Leadership Council (TLC) members learn about the work of local nonprofit agencies and create service projects to address needs in the community. At the first TLC meetings, Snohomish County teens set the council's policies and calendar. Members will also learn how to recruit and manage volunteers and will design volunteer projects in the spring.
