Day of Action

United Way of Henderson County is seeking hundreds of volunteers throughout the community for the second Day of Action sponsored by Pardee/UNC Health Care to mobilize the caring power of volunteers to make a meaningful impact in the community. Volunteers are needed to work on 37 service projects among 23 schools and learning centers from 7:30am to 1pm Aug. 18 Volunteers will help get schools ready for the upcoming school year. Projects will include painting walls, cleaning playgrounds, mulching and many more. In addition to serving at local schools, volunteers are asked to help pack a school bus with food donations for MANNA’s Packs for Kids and school supply items for Henderson County Public Schools. Interested volunteers can find the service projects and an online sign-up by visiting http://bit.ly/2ttqdic. Volunteers who are registered online by July 28 are guaranteed a free T-shirt. Any registration questions can be directed to Kara Ashley-Gilmore at volunteer@liveunitedhc.org, or by phone at 828-692-1636 ext. 1108.
