United Way Day of Action is an opportunity for United Way communities to show what it means to LIVE UNITED. June 21st-the longest day of the year, with more daylight hours than any other-presents an annual opportunity for the United Way system to declare its intention to improve lives in measurable and lasting ways by mobilizing thousands of people around a common goal: advancing the common good.
"The volunteers and staff recognize the many challenges families and individuals are faced right now in our challenging economic times," said United Way of Marion County's President Maureen Quinlan. "Our goal is forthe workshops to make a difference and help ease some financial stress for the future."
Our community joined people all across the country who are going to take action - demonstrating how they LIVE UNITED by giving, advocating and volunteering in the areas of education, income and health.
