Volunteers will learn about the depth and breadth of United Way’s community partners who create sustainable, positive changes in the lives of local low-income families. By enhancing your company’s United Way giving campaign with volunteer projects, employees will also gain a better understanding of where their donations are going and how they are benefitting the community.
