The United Way’s annual Day of Caring is scheduled for September 18, 2020

Published

on

Each year, the United Way chooses local families to receive assistance from teams of volunteers they bring together to hold the annual Day of Caring. If you or someone you know needs assistance with the upkeep of their home, why not apply to United Way as a 2020 “Day of Caring” client? You, your neighbor, anyone you know who needs help… we are looking for YOU!!!

To qualify, you must:

  • Live in Warren County or Front Royal
  • Own the home that will receive the repairs and be unable to do the repairs yourself—home must not be on the market for sale or being prepared for sale
  • Total income must be below 150% of the current federal poverty guidelines; please apply and we’ll see if you qualify
  • Not received assistance from Day of Caring in prior years

The kinds of jobs we are looking for are jobs that a team of volunteers could reasonably complete in a day. Some projects completed in the past include:

  • Painting
  • Clean-up
  • Yard Work/Landscaping
  • Minor Plumbing, Electrical, and/or Carpentry Work
  • Minor Weatherization
  • Windows
  • Tear Down Old Decks or Porches (pending volunteer expertise)

That’s all there is to it! Please visit the United Way website: www.frontroyalunitedway.org, or contact the United Way office for an application at 540-635-3636, or email us at info@frontroyalunitedway.org.

Absolute Deadline for Receipt of Applications is August 7, 2020
