Helping Hands
Come Together
for Day of Caring
On a day when Tampa Bay’s heat index soared past 100 degrees on October 18, more than 2,000 volunteers’ t-shirts were sweat-soaked from more than150 Day of Caring projects.
Many volunteers were paint-splattered; others showed evidence of their physical labor with dirt and mulch still clinging to them. |
But regardless of the project these dedicated volunteers toiled, one thing rang true across Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties – people want to lend a hand in their community to help others. And that’s what United Way’s Day of Caring is all about – people helping people.
At the Children’s Home in Tampa, more than 125 volunteers from Time Customer Service, Principal Financial and Lockheed Martin, led by Children’s Home staff, spread out in groups across the 60+ acre campus to trim trees, clear brush, refinish children’s dressers splattered with stickers and stains, and apply fresh paint in warm colors to tired buildings.
The annual Day of Caring helps our community’s assets like the
Children’s Home to continue their mission to provide a safe haven for children who have suffered abuse, neglect or abandonment and continue to protect, heal and care for Tampa Bay’s children and families. |
