UPS - United Way Distribution Services - 5/19/2011
UPS gives back again! 14 employees from UPS volunteered their time and energy at the United Way Distribution Services in Westborough for a United Way of Tri-County Day of Caring.
The United Way Day of Caring is an opportunity for employees of local businesses to volunteer at organizations that are in much need of assistance. The volunteers will do a variety of improvement projects for these organizations, things that may not have been done otherwise. The UPS volunteers will be sorting and stacking paint products.
The participation of UPS employees in this United Way Day of Caring means a great deal to these organizations. Their willingness to give up their time and to work hard for an organization shows a commitment to social responsibility and a dedication to improving the lives of youth. UPS is one of the largest supporters of United Way Worldwide and has been awarded the National Summit Award for Service to the Community through the United Way.
About the United Way of Tri-County
The United Way of Tri-County is a community building organization that brings people together to care for one another. We raise funds, connect volunteers, strengthen agencies, teach social responsibility, and meet the critical needs of the community with the help of people like you.
The United Way understands that you want to make an impact in your community. Our 75 years of experience also tells us it takes a whole community working together to have lasting impact. That’s why we’re connected to all of our communities through business, government, faith groups, schools, agencies, and ordinary citizens. That way your donation not only goes further, it goes where it’s needed most.
Using a system unique to United Way, volunteers who live and work in each of our 34 communities annually decide where funds are invested. Certified Partner Agencies submit requests for special program funding such as after school programs, affordable day care, job training, transportation for the elderly, and even basic needs like food and shelter. This Citizen Review Process ensures your contributions are invested in programs that meet the critical needs of our communities.
We invite you to be part of the change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.
