United Way Seeks Volunteers for Day of Action
Volunteers needed for August 17 event at local schools
United Way of Henderson County is seeking
hundreds of volunteers from across the community for the third annual Day of Action on August
17. Sponsored by Pardee/UNC Health Care and in partnership with Henderson County Public
Schools, Day of Action is a county-wide morning of service to help our local schools. Volunteers
are needed to work on 45 service projects at 24 schools and learning centers, getting them
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
by donating non-perishable food donations for MANNA’s Packs for Kids and school supply
items for Henderson County schools.

Interested volunteers can find the service projects and an online sign-up by visiting United
Way’s website at www.liveunitedhc.org, and clicking “Day of Action.” Volunteers who are
registered online by July 27th are guaranteed a free t-shirt. Community members who cannot
volunteer but still want to help can bring donations of food items or school supplies to the school
campus nearest you on the morning of August 17. Lists of needed items are available on the
website.

Any registration questions can be directed to Kara Ashley-Gilmore at
volunteer@liveunitedhc.org, or by phone at 828-692-1636 x1108.
