Volunteers Needed: 2024 Week of Caring with United Way of Mat-Su
Contributed by Michele Harmeling
United Way of Mat-Su Week of Caring is coming up! This year's dates are May 20-24, with different projects each day. We are in need of a few more Good Volunteers to assist some local nonprofits with work that may otherwise not be done.
What IS Week of Caring, you ask? This is a week-long effort that brings together volunteers from around the community to assist Mat-Su nonprofits in completing spring projects.
You might be raking leaves, trimming hedges and planting flowers. You could paint and repair a local playground. There may be donations in need of sorting and tagging, trails to clean up, and building projects to do.
Every hour contributed during Week of Caring, by YOU, represents invaluable help for our local nonprofits. Week of Caring volunteers dedicate over 500 hours every year across the Mat-Su, bringing helping hands to projects and people who really need them!
Volunteers may opt to work for a longer day (generally 10am-3pm) or can contribute according to their own schedules. Be prepared to work outside, dress for the weather, and bring a water bottle and sack lunch.
United Way of Mat-Su will provide light snacks and other drinks to each project site. Interested volunteers may register on our website: unitedwaymatsu.org by clicking the Volunteers link at the top of the page.
