United Way Day of Caring

Five staff from Red River Human Services Foundation volunteered for the United Way Day of Caring. There were 1500 volunteers from the community that visited 430 seniors in Cass and Clay Counties. 50 companies allowed their employees to participate. The volunteers assisted the seniors with projects they may find difficult to complete themselves, such as raking leaves, painting projects, washing windows, cleaning around the house, etc.

This was a great community project that staff were able to participate in. Way to support the United Way and the Seniors of Cass and Clay counties!!
