DAY OF CARING!

It's amazing no matter how much time you have to plan for an event it still seems like it arrived WAY too fast. This year's Day of Caring took place June 25th and I have to say it was interesting. Working behind the scenes to get all the little things done is exhausting but the reward is quick and fulfilling. We had 14 companies participate this year at 11 agencies throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties and not one person left without a smile on their face :). Teams of company volunteers were able to witness where there United Way donations go, while assisting the agencies with projects they don't have the resources to complete.

I've learnt a lot about organizing an event from this experience but I've also learned a lot about helping your community. I hope everyone took something away from Day of Caring because I sure did. Thank you to everyone who participated and we hope to see you next year!

Special thanks goes out to our generous title sponsors Hydro One and Cintas!
