United Way of Decatur and Mid-Illinois, Hickory Point Bank & Trust and Caterpillar encourage Volunteerism.
Day of Action is a brand new United Way initiative that will mobilize volunteers to help local non-profit organizations during this time of budget cuts, delayed payments and staffing decreases. The first ever Day of Action will be held on September 25, 2010 from 8am to 5pm.
This project will look to activate over 1000 volunteers on a single day, working on projects across the county. In addition, we will encourage everyone in the community unable to attend that day to pledge volunteer hours for the upcoming year. In all, we hope to get as many people as possible to pledge at least 4 hours of service to our community over the next year.
Volunteers will meet in Nelson Park at Pavillion #2 to pick up their project assignments, get a free tee shirt and eat a meal. They will the head out to their assignments. There are two shifts, 8am and 12pm. Volunteers can choose one or the other, or pick up two projects and work both shifts!
United Way is also seeking opportunities for our volunteers! Does your NPO need some maintenence work done, do you have some sorting, folding or another clerical project to be completed?? Do you have a group of kids that would love to have a visit from volunteers? Please click on the link below to download a project proposal form!
