Benefits of Volunteering
Why is Volunteerism important to Corporations?
United Way has made a commitment to our corporate community by guiding companies through volunteer and community service project planning. Utilizing our network or agency partnerships and planning expertise, United Way of Tri-County is able to custom-design an ongoing volunteer program for one-time event, specifically tailored to the needs and interests of your company.
United Way works with corporations and community partners to design projects that address critical community needs including poverty, literacy, health, community enrichment, revitalization, the environment, mentoring, and education for children and youth.
What is "Days of Caring"?
United Way’s Days of Caring is a special service project that builds partnerships between United Way, nonprofit agencies, community volunteers, and employees from area workplaces. United Way and our network of agencies and other participating organizations design hands-on projects for corporations and corporate volunteers. By participating, volunteers gain a deeper understanding of our area’s social service community and the work that United Way and local nonprofit agencies do every day of the year.
Days of Caring offers the workplace:
- An opportunity for team building
- A proven morale booster for employees
- A chance for employees to help others through hands-on experience
- An opportunity for employees to see how agencies use campaign dollars in the community
- An opportunity for you to position your company as a good corporate neighbor and leverage your philanthropic activities
