Dear Day of Caring Volunteer Team Leads:

One week from today (Wednesday, Sept. 14) is United Way's annual Day of Caring! You should have already received your team's project assignment. Here's a quick list to help you prepare:

Communicate

As the Team Lead, we expect you to share important info with your team. 

Project Site(s)

Contact your project site to discuss any questions or details. While volunteers may bring a few items to the site, it is the Project Site/ Nonprofit’s responsibility to provide any required tools or materials. Project sites are also expected to supply snacks, beverages, and lunch.

Breakfast

Please remind team members who registered for breakfast, that United Way has already ordered and paid for their meal. Attendance is important as stewards of our community's generosity.

Social Media

We love before & after photos, videos, and selfies! Post directly to United Way Blackhawk Region’s Facebook page or tweet @UnitedWayBR using #LiveUnited or #DayofCaring.

T-Shirts

Teams are strongly encouraged to wear Day of Caring shirts to recognize our generous sponsors. Please arrange to pick up your Team's t-shirts according to the table below.

If you are unable to send a representative to pick up your t-shirts during the above time, please notify Julie @ jschweder@lubr.org. T-shirts not picked up will be available for last call at United Way on Monday, Sept. 12th.
