United Way of Henderson County
Organizes “Twelve Days of Caring”
As a benefit for Henderson County agencies, United Way of Henderson County is expanding its annual Day of Caring (DOC) to Twelve Days of Caring.
United Way will still have a community-wide Day of Caring to coincide with its annual Campaign Kick-off; however, the organization is now coordinating a monthly DOC event. “Twelve Days of Caring will focus on a particular need for just one nonprofit agency per month,” said United Way’s Director of Community Impact Sandy McGlashan. “We will recruit volunteers specifically for an agency’s one-day project.”
At a time when nonprofits are maximizing their staff and other resources, United Way wanted to provide a service to help ease the burden of completing a specific project for agencies. “We are hoping that this may be advantageous for agencies in that we can schedule a group of volunteers to help with a particular project at a time when the agencies need them,” said McGlashan.
