United Way of Greater Augusta will celebrate its annual Week of Caring on April 12-18th. This year’s event will demonstrate how people in our region LIVE UNITED™ by completing projects for area non-profits.
Over 200 volunteers are scheduled on worksites for organizations such as Project Grows, Renewing Homes of Greater Augusta, and Vector Industries 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. There will also be 109 students from Wilson High School working on projects on April 17.
Our community joins people all across the country who are taking action demonstrating how they LIVE UNITED™ by giving, advocating and volunteering in the areas of education, income and health.
