Join Thousands Across The Globe Volunteering On The Longest Day Of The Year!
What is Day of Action?
United Way Day of Action is an invitation for people and organizations around the world to LIVE UNITED and take action to address a variety of challenges. It is a day that we ask you to help us put our mission into action by volunteering to improve the building blocks for a good quality of life – education, financial stability and health. This year, United Way of the Lakeshore will be hosting a mini series of volunteer opportunities so anyone can take part on this day of service.
