Great American Employees hold a Day of Caring banner at Countryside Association.

Fifty employees of the Great American Insurance company in Schaumburg volunteered their time and talents to help out the United Way partner agency Countryside Association for People with Disabilities. Volunteers lead by Campaign Leader Mary Ziegler worked inside and out to help maintain Countryside’s facilities. They applied their talents to a wide variety of projects including painting, raking, and decorating for the holidays.

Day of Caring opportunities are open to any United Way partner; let us know if you’re interested in participating in a day of caring!

JC Penney’s Employees Volunteer at Aunt Martha’s

October 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment

A group of employees from JC Penney took part in the United Way’s Day of Caring program and volunteered today at Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center. Sporting bright United Way t-shirts, the volunteers tackled several crowded storage areas in an effort to turn them into usable space for the center’s expanding programs. Volunteers helped create several new offices and counseling spaces. Continuing United Way’s mission of fostering partnership between Partner Agencies, staff and volunteers connected Aunt Martha’s unused furniture with agencies who can put it back into service.

Pictures coming soon!
