Day of Caring 2005
 Wednesday, September 14

United Way of Central Massachusetts (UWCM) would like to thank…

the 896 volunteers from 45 companies, unions, and colleges who worked at 32 non-profit organizations and successfully completed  45 projects throughout the course of a gorgeous day!
 

Spotlight on Projects

Growing Vegetables for Hunger Relief in Worcester - 200 volunteers came together to harvest crops at the Community Harvest Farm with all proceeds going to area shelters and food pantries.

Working Together to Better Our Community - volunteers worked at Lakeside development of Worcester Housing Authority; painting inside hallways, outside benches, and doors. (Hundreds of them!)

Reach Out and Read Project - 2 volunteers spent their day reading to children in the Pediatric Waiting Room of Family Health Center.

Heifer Project International - Volunteers helped construct a Llama/Alpaca crate. This crate will be used for sheering llamas and alpacas and also for treating health related issues.
 

UWCM would also like to recognize our longest corporate and union group participants:

Bowditch and Dewey
Feingold Companies

National Grid
Providence and Worcester Railroad
Saint Gobain
USWA (United Steel Workers of America) 2285, 2936


Without your dedication, Day of Caring could not be the success that it is! Thank You!
