United Way of Central Indiana has been making the community a stronger, more vibrant place to live for 100 years. In commemoration of this milestone and local community spirit, area businesses, residents and community leaders are participating in Hand Raisers for 100 – one hour of service, on one day, as part of one big celebration.
United Way invites every person to find just one hour on Thursday, April 19 to do something that makes a positive impact on a person, a place or within the community. Examples could include helping an elderly neighbor, reading to a child, cleaning up a neighborhood park, organizing a food drive with your fellow employees, volunteering at a local nonprofit, or simply donating supplies to a teacher for United Way’s initiative, “Restock the Classroom.”
Join a dynamic blend of community leaders, volunteers, advocates and supporters who are hyper-focused on increasing the support for United Way during this milestone year. United Way makes volunteering fun, easy and accessible. Most importantly, United Way provides a meaningful, engaging volunteer experience for everyone.
Don’t forget to share your “hour of impact” through social media on April 19. Use the hashtag #uwci100 and tag United Way (@uwci).
