Day of Caring Partnership between United Way, Non-Profits, Companies and the City
Around 1,200 volunteers in neon green shirts from 54 companies participate in this year’s United Way Day of Caring on Thursday, May 10, 2012.
In all, there are 85 projects and 44 agencies are being helped.
Marc Gullickson, CEO at Ryan Companies in Iowa and who is chairing this year’s United Way campaign with wife Cathy, is one example of how Day of Caring brings the community together.
“We are encouraging our team to spend the day cleaning city trails,” Marc says. “It’s the perfect mix of public companies working through United Way projects to help the non-profit community as well as the City of Cedar Rapids.”
Projects include:
Wheel chair ramp builds
Several camp clean up projects
Landscaping projects
Downtown clean-up
A couple of trail clean-up projects
Deep cleaning at nonprofit agencies
Painting projects
Spring clean-up projects
Stock food pantries and boxing food for families
