United Way of Sarnia-Lambton is excited to announce the return of the Day of Caring after a two-year pandemic break. The event which mobilizes hundreds of volunteers into the community will take place on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
This is a unique opportunity for workplaces to support United Way to build both a sense of community and teamwork through community service projects. “Day of Caring gives us all the chance to roll-up our sleeves and work collectively to make a difference in the lives of those in need,” said Pamela Bodkin, Community Investment and Finance Director for United Way. Bodkin has organized Day of Caring in Sarnia-Lambton for 26 years. “We are excited to have this annual impact event return to its traditional in person format bringing people together who are looking to give back to the community in a very hands-on way.”
Since 1993, United Way of Sarnia-Lambton Day of Caring has completed projects ranging from painting, cleaning, gardening, and yard work to building wheelchair ramps, decks, storage sheds or minor plumbing installations. Each year, applications are reviewed, jobs are assessed and individuals having work done have completed a means test.
