Description

Project Description:

We are requesting volunteers to help us complete a one-day beautification and deep cleaning project as part of United Way's Day of Caring. This project will improve both the exterior and interior of one of our program properties, creating a cleaner, more welcoming environment for the individuals and families we serve.

Volunteers will divide their time between outdoor landscaping tasks and indoor deep cleaning. Outdoor work includes weeding garden beds and spreading fresh mulch around the exterior of the home. Indoor work focuses on deep cleaning the basement, including wiping down surfaces, cleaning light fixtures, and vacuuming.

All tools, cleaning supplies, mulch, and equipment will be provided. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing appropriate for outdoor work, cleaning, and light lifting. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. 

Volunteer Requirements:

To ensure the safety and privacy of the individuals we serve, all volunteers must complete a confidentiality agreement and pass a background screening prior to participating. Our Community Engagement & Outreach Coordinator will provide these forms and support you through the process. All requirements must be completed no later than one week prior to the project start date.

Impact Statement:

A well-maintained property helps create a safe, welcoming, and dignified environment for the individuals and families we serve. By improving the landscaping and refreshing shared indoor spaces, volunteers will help ensure our program property remains clean, comfortable, and inviting for current and future residents.
