Volunteer Center

Volunteer Center
Survey says……….the 13th annual Day of Caring was a huge success! 130 teams of volunteers adopted 38 different Northwest Michigan non-profit agencies and organizations, giving back and enjoying themselves along the way.
Holding the event at the City Opera House was a hit. The Traverse City Central High School marching band and cheerleaders were riveting. Model A ford pickups held locally grown treats to feed us all, everyone contributing generously to our regional food drive and the sun coming up on a perfect day all made for an inspiring picture of a caring community, gathering together to do a day of service.
Go to www.unitedwaynwmi.org and click on the Volunteer Center Day of Caring to view lots of great pictures from the day. The winners of the survey drawing were: Emily Arbut from the Young Professionals Group, Julie Rice from Fawcett/Dopke Insurance Agency, Inc. and Wayne Wahr from Morse Moving and Storage, congratulations! Thank you to all who participated in or supported Day of Caring. We look forward to working with you connecting nonprofit and volunteers all year long!
