What’s needed for United Way Winter Day of Caring

The Head of the Lakes United Way will hold their Winter Day of Caring on Wednesday, December 4. This is a community-wide event where hundreds of volunteers complete projects for local non-profit agencies.

The Day of Caring is a great opportunity to educate volunteers about the important work non-profit organizations do in our community. The campaign also provides non-profits with valuable resources.
