Our 17th Annual Days of Caring will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 and Saturday, September 13, 2008.

Do you have a BIG idea for a BIG project?

United Way wants to put hundreds of volunteers to work for YOU!

Each year United Way chooses a Signature Site location which is highlighted as the media focus for the day. We are now accepting proposals from community organizations who feel they have the capability to support a large-scale volunteer experience, and would like to be considered to host the 2008 Days of Caring Signature Site.

For more information and for information on how to submit a proposal please visit: www.uwsepa.org/signaturesite.
