United Way of
Rockland County
"On behalf of all of us at CANDLE, I want to congratulate the United Way of Rockland on their 2019 Fall Day of
Caring. This year, for the first time, CANDLE was fortunate to participate in this signature event by being
one of the recipient agencies. This one-of-akind service event in Rockland illustrates the results of a collaboration
and partnership towards a common goal and what a difference it can make in the community. In these difficult economic
times, this day of volunteerism is more important than ever to those of us in the non-profit world."
Joanne Goodman, Executive Director, CANDLE
"The Leadership Rockland volunteer team had a great experience participating in the 2019 Fall Day
of Caring. Not only did we learn about Rockland Home for Heroes, their mission and the people they serve, but
we were able to complete much needed painting and planting projects. It was a meaningful experience and we definitely
plan on participating in the 2020 Spring Day of Caring."
Dan Caprara, Secretary, Board of Directors, Leadership Rockland
"There are times in your life, no matter what stage you're in, where you may need help. Pfizer Pearl River
colleagues are grateful the United Way is able to help so many people, and we're glad to support their efforts."
Pam Soni, Manager of Business Operations for Pfizer Pearl River
"We are very fortunate to be the recipients of this United Way program and the great spirit of
volunteerism exhibited by the participants."
