Day of Caring
Day of Caring is a unique opportunity for
workplaces that support the United Way of PEI to build both a sense of
community and teamwork through the completion of community service
projects. We connect you – the donor – to a local project so that you
can experience the impact your donation is making in the community. Day
of Caring generates positive community relationships and helps to
develop contacts between volunteers, agencies, and workplaces. This
annual event gives each of us an opportunity to roll-up our sleeves and
work together to make a difference in non-profit agencies in our
community, and for the people they serve.
In 2018, we were grateful to have 86 volunteers completing 9 projects supporting a variety of non-profits in both Summerside and Charlottetown. Volunteers helped refresh with some new bright paint, prepared for a yard sale, worked at the PGI Golf Tournament, assisted with yard and garden clean up, landscaping and more...Initiatives were supported at the following locations:
- Boys and Girls Club of Charlottetown
