I just wanted to let you in on a great event happening with Mount Blue Middle School students as they fan out in

downtown Farmington to help others.

             

Mt. Blue Cares for the Community Friday, October 11, 8:30 am undefined 2 pm

       

Days of Caring Schedule: One group of students will be building interior storm window panels at Henderson Memorial Baptist Church and re-installing panels at Farmington Public Library throughout the day; one group will be cleaning up the patio area at Orchard Park Rehabilitation and Living Center and then move to the home of George and Carol Trickett, 162 Perham St while another group will spend the day at the home of Don and Barbara Nicholson, 484 Bailey Hill Rd; students will be baking and cooking items for food pantries and older adults at the FACS Room at Mount Blue Middle School: the last group will spend the day at the United Way office on Broadway making button bracelets for the Buttons for Babes Project.

 

Time frame: students will begin at MBMS at 8:30 and be bused to the above various locations. They will return to school by 2 pm.

 

Please stop by one or more of these locations if you have time, it should be a lot of fun while this great group of kids continues to make a difference throughout our communities!

The United Way of the Tri-Valley Area is excited to announce Days of Caring 2013 – a great way to get involved in your community this summer and fall. Give an hour or give a day, meet new people, and make a difference. Last year, 11 days and 14 projects were offered to volunteers, and 240 volunteers contributed 1,176 hours in the community. These hours equate to $19,804 dollars invested in service hours alone! Additionally, $4,203 worth of supplies and professional services were contributed in-kind.

 

This year, 10 diverse and exciting projects are being offered to anyone who wants to get involved. Volunteer opportunities are listed below. Pick one or more ways to LIVE UNITED. Get your friends together, form a team from work, or come alone, but please participate – all skill levels are welcome. Contact Nancy Teel, Volunteer Center Coordinator to sign up or for more information at 778-5048 or nancyteel@uwtva.org. (Advance sign up is very much appreciated for planning purposes. All pre-registrants will be provided specific details about their opportunity.)

 

Volunteer engagement through the United Way of the Tri-Valley Area is supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Maine Commission for Community Service, and The Maine Community Foundation.
