United Way of Jackson County, 2009 Day of Caring
Day of Caring is the single largest volunteer day in the Rogue Valley. United Way volunteers (business, organizations, faith groups, service clubs and individuals) engage in physical labor projects at local nonprofits.
Over 400 people brightened up ten sites around the county planting grass and flowers, pruning, painting and laying down a beautiful stone garden pathway. Agencies received face lifts they wouldn't be able to afford without the help of United Way's business sponsors and volunteers.
