Deadline to Sign Up for United Way’s Days of Action Approaching Quickly

The deadline to sign up for United Way’s Days of Action volunteer event, presented by Nissan, is approaching quickly, April 6-8. Days of Action is an opportunity for volunteer teams in the community to complete projects that benefit community organizations. Volunteers will participate in activities such as tutoring, area improvement and painting to help organizations complete projects that need to be done.

This year’s Days of Action also marks the seventh annual partnership with Middle Tennessee State University’s The Big Event and United Way. On April 8, students will be focusing their volunteer efforts on community gardens throughout Rutherford County.

“MTSU students participating in The Big Event want to create a lasting change this year by creating community gardens”, said McKenna Moore, Director of Volunteer and Strategic Engagement for United Way. “The goal is to teach community members how to provide their own renewable, sustainable and healthy food source.”

United Way is focusing on projects impacting the areas of education, health and financial stability. Volunteer teams can adopt projects by visiting www.unitedwayvolunteer.org.  For questions, contact McKenna Moore at [email protected] or by calling (615) 893-7303 ext. 103.

Event sponsors include Nissan, Miller Loughry Beach, Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, Regions, Target and Atmos Energy.
