SitemapThe United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley’s 21st annual Day of Caring is set to welcome a record 1,000 volunteers from 90 local businesses and organizations.
“A thousand people is an amazing testament to the generous spirit of the Mahoning Valley,” said Bob Hannon, president of the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley. “Every year this event grows, and we are so thankful to the businesses and organizations that let their employees off work for the day to participate. Not only do many of these people donate money to our annual campaign, they are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get to work.”
The Day of Caring takes place Friday and will also kick off the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley’s 2018 annual campaign. United Way will announce its campaign goal at a breakfast, which starts at 8 a.m. at the Covelli Centre. Then at 9:15 the volunteers will head off to their projects.
