United Way to mark Day of Caring

AFP

united-way-of-greater-augustaUnited Way of Greater Augusta will celebrate its Annual Day of Caring on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

“This year’s event will demonstrate how people in our region LIVE UNITED™ by completing projects for area non-profits,” said Cynthia Pritchard, the executive director of the local United Way. “Volunteers are scheduled on worksites for organizations such as YMCA, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Rebuilding Together to name a few. Advancing the common good means recognizing that we are all connected and interdependent. It involves creating opportunities for a better life for all. When individuals, organizations, governments and businesses set aside their special interests and work together, we can make a difference. Living United means being part of the change.”

Our community joins people all across the country who are taking action as part of the National Day of Service, 9/11 – demonstrating how they LIVE UNITED™ by giving, advocating and volunteering in the areas of education, income and health.

Volunteers (teams and individuals) can sign up to volunteer at www.volunteergreateraugusta.org.

Additional details are available at www.unitedwayga.org.
