NATIONAL VOLUNTEER MONTH

United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut has a bold vision for the future: ONWARD860.

April is National Volunteer Month and your group can join us in forging a new path to close gaps in child literacy and household necessities. By participating in United Way’s National Volunteer Month, you and your colleagues are helping reduce poverty and co-create a community where everyone has opportunities to succeed.

There are two ways to participate:

UNITED WE CARE KITS

United Way is hosting United We Care Kit assembly at our offices. Perfect for groups of 10-40 workplace volunteers, together you will assemble 100 United We Care Kits for local families in celebration of United Way’s Centennial Anniversary. Our goal is to complete and distribute 1,000 United We Care Kits in the month of April.

United We Care Kits include essential items that help children achieve academic milestones and stock homes with essential items that keep people healthy.
Select dates and times are available and may be flexible upon request.
