Register Your Company for the 2009 Day of Caring

July 20, 2009

The United Way of Meriden and Wallingford is delighted to announce that this year's Day of Caring is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, 2009. We have already had many of our corporate partners inquire about our Day of Caring, and we would like to offer you the opportunity to help us LIVE UNITED� by participating in this worthwhile event. Year after year, Day of Caring has proven to be a rewarding experience benefiting your employees, your company and local agencies in our community.

Last year's Day of Caring was an amazing day, with over 325 employees from local companies participating by donating their time and energy to our partner agencies. There was a huge variety of projects, including but not limited to: planting a garden, organizing a food pantry, waterproofing a playscape, painting a porch, visiting the elderly, washing windows, cleaning vans and much, much more!

Please join us in our quest to LIVE UNITED�. United Way is working to advance the greater good of the community but we cannot do it alone; we need the heads, hands and hearts of committed people like you to help us tackle the problems facing our community. Working together to improve the quality of life in our community through the Day of Caring not only enhances employee communication and teamwork, but also helps everyone involved learn more about the programs funded through United Way. By taking this step and involving your company and employees in Day of Caring, you become a leader in the movement to LIVE UNITED�.

If this sounds like a way to get your employees out into the community for an unforgettable, hands-on experience, all you need to do is take a few moments to register your company online. Please be sure to register by July 30th, because projects will be assigned, and we have to submit all of the participating company names in for the T-shirts by the end of the month!!

If your company is unable to participate in Day of Caring this year, would your group be able to do a food drive to help out one of our local food pantries? The need for food is enormous this year, and any donations your company is able to collect would be gratefully received. If you have any additional, please feel free to contact me at (203) 235-4403, ext. 12 or sarah@unitedwaymw.org.
