6,300 volunteers fill needs across six counties<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROCHESTER, NY \u2013 Today, United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes is bringing together a record-breaking 6,300 volunteers for the single largest volunteer effort across the region, Day of Caring. United Way has been mobilizing volunteers through Day of Caring for 30 years. Over 250 workplaces completed 450 projects for 200 agencies throughout Monroe, Livingston, Genesee, Ontario, Wayne, and Wyoming counties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day of Caring projects include outdoor beautification, painting, planting community gardens, organizing clothing, sorting food, and community engagement for older adults.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery year, our workplace partners raise their hands and roll up their sleeves for our vital nonprofit sector,\u201d said United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes President & CEO Jaime Saunders. \u201cThe fact 250 local organizations helped mobilize thousands of volunteers throughout our region, stepping away from their own vital work to help others, is truly remarkable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe United Way\u2019s 2024 Day of Caring is a perfect example of \u201cimagine what\u2019s possible\u201d in action,\u201d said 2024 Campaign Chair and RTS CEO Miguel Vel\u00e1zquez. \u201cWhen this year\u2019s day of caring is behind us, we will see what is possible when 6,300 people from across our region came together to volunteer their time, energy, and talents to make an immediate impact on those in need. Thank you to the team at United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes and every volunteer who stepped up to make a difference today!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

United Way utilized its volunteer platform, Volunteer United<\/a>, to mobilize volunteers for Day of Caring. This year, volunteer teams have a chance of winning $250 for their nonprofit site by participating in a social media contest.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
