Looking to Make a Difference? Volunteer for the United Way

Nyack, NY, May 30 -- The United Way of Rockland County is looking for volunteers who want to help make a difference in our community. The United Way is currently forming committees to coordinate efforts for the organization’s Day of Caring and its Broadway in Rockland event.

Day of Caring, to be held on Friday, October 5, is the county’s single largest day of community service benefiting Rockland non-profit organizations. Day of Caring encourages area businesses to reward employees by representing their company in this enriching day of community service. In addition, area civic organizations and schools team up to pitch in. Volunteers are needed to help identify potential community service projects, assist with logistics at the Day of Caring Kick-Off Breakfast to be held at Nyack High School, assemble goody bags for volunteers and more.

Broadway in Rockland, to be held on Monday, November 5, brings Neil Berg and his cadre of Broadway starts to Rockland to perform for the benefit of the United Way’s Community Care Fund. Volunteers are needed to help distribute promotional material, assist with logistics for the show and the pre-show “Taste of North Rockland” at Fieldstone Auditorium, provide assistance at the event and more.

Anyone interested in volunteering to support these events should contact Diane Serratore, Director of Community Impact, at 845-358-8929, ext. 14 or at d.serratore@uwrc.org.

The mission of the United Way of Rockland County is to serve people by raising resources and allocating them to organizations and groups to build a strong, vibrant Rockland Community. The Untied Way works to increase the organized capacity for people to care for one another.
