    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY OCT 6, 2018 |

    More than 2,600 volunteers from more than 50 local companies and community groups will be mobilized to tackle more than 120 projects at local social service agencies, schools and community organizations through United Way Suncoast’s annual Day of Caring, held on Friday, October 12, 2018. The value of the donated work is estimated to be $261,319, amounting to 10,584 hours or 264 weeks of work. Volunteers will take on projects at United Way partner agencies ranging from landscaping to painting and everything in between. “Volunteers are critical for the nonprofit community,” said Suzanne McCormick, President and CEO of United Way Suncoast. “Day of Caring provides companies with a unique, hands-on way to empower their workforce to accelerate change where they live. And the volunteers themselves see first-hand the impact they are making through their service.” Follow all the action on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter:  #DayofCaring2018  #LIVEUNITED. To find Suncoast-area volunteer opportunities, visit the link below.
