2017 United Way Anson County Day of Caring

What is it?  Where is it?  How can we participate?  Day of Caring is an annual community-wide service project organized by United Way.  Teams will gather at 7:30AM at Wadesboro Town Square for a complimentary continental breakfast and a short program. Projects are generally completed by noon.  Volunteer teams from local businesses, civic clubs, churches and the community at large are recruited to complete projects. Teams must pre-register by September 22nd to be matched with a project.  Generally, sites cannot accommodate no more than 8 people, so groups greater than that may be divided into several teams, depending on available projects.  A variety of projects are identified throughout the county. The majority of project sites are at homes of the elderly, but sites also include area nonprofit organizations, preschools, etc.  Typical tasks include cutting grass, weeding flowerbeds, pruning shrubs, trash pickup, window washing, cleaning gutters, and painting.  Day of Caring volunteers cannot complete any work inside a home and generally are not skilled laborers.  As a rule, homeowners who are receiving the volunteer service provide any supplies or materials that might be needed. However, teams may be asked to bring yard tools, etc.  Team captains are responsible for contacting and visiting the assigned project site and surveying the jobs requested. This will allow you to be familiar with the site and confirm with the site contact person what tools and materials will be needed. This should be done more than a week in advance so that there are no last minute problems.  Upon visiting the project site, the team captain will determine if there are problems in completing any of the jobs requested. Teams are not responsible for providing any materials or completing any work that is not on the site sheet. If, however, the team chooses to supply materials or complete extra work, it is strictly their decision.  In conjunction with United Way’s Day of Caring, canned goods and non-perishable food items are being collected for families in need. Please help us by setting up a collection box at your place of business and/or encouraging your team to participate. Items will be distributed by Anson Crisis Ministry. Contact Margo Barnes at 704.694.2445 to arrange for these items to be picked up. Collections bins will also be available at the Day of Caring Event.  Please feel free to bring your company sign or make one for your team. This is a great way to assemble your team at the kickoff celebration and show your team spirit at the project site!  In an effort to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all, regardless of the state enacted concealed handgun law, firearms are prohibited at all project sites by anyone other than law enforcement. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. The Registration Deadline is Friday, September 22nd You will receive your project assignment prior to the event so that you may do a site visit in advance.
