United Way of Greater Eau Claire has held a Day of Caring event annually since 1995 to raise awareness of local needs and services, and help community members better understand the impact of their donated dollars. Participation in the event continues to grow each year because:
- Program partner agencies receive the assistance they need. Because of the work done by volunteers during Day of Caring, one program partner was able to save the salary cost of a maintenance staff person.
- Volunteers develop a sense of satisfaction from a job well done while learning about United Way funded programs. Many Day of Caring volunteers now give their time to partner organizations on a year-round basis. Volunteers have fun, too! Day of Caring activities build camaraderie and give employees an opportunity to get to know one another outside of the workplace.
- United Way gains committed volunteers. Statistics show that employees who participate in the Day of Caring are more involved in their companies’ United Way campaign.
Please join us on Friday, September 17, 2010. Let us know if your company will sponsor a volunteer group or join us on your own. From crafts to construction, Day of Caring projects are available for everyone.
