The Tulsa Area United Way Day of Caring is just around the corner and the organization is still looking for more volunteers.
The Tulsa Area United Way is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary and wants to make this year’s Day of Caring a big event.
The Day of Caring is an opportunity for people to get involved and work on projects for nonprofits and schools that need to be completed. This year, the organization is trying to mobilize 5,000 volunteers to complete more than 400 projects in the community, according to Alison Anthony, president and CEO of the Tulsa Area United Way, as this is a big year for the organization.
“So many nonprofits and schools have said to us, ‘Hey, we really need some projects, can you help us?’ So we have even more projects coming up this year and we would love for everyone to join us on September 13th and be a part of this great day of community coming together,” Anthony said.
Anthony said that if you would like to help, United Way will find a project for you to work on during the Day of Caring.
“You don’t need a lot of skills. You don’t need a lot of equipment. You just need a heart for service and a willingness to join us at United Way. That’s how we live united in this community. We come together, improve lives and strengthen this home that we live in and that we call the Tulsa area,” Anthony said.
The Day of Caring is Sept. 13, but Anthony said people who want to volunteer should sign up by Aug. 30.
