Projects <br />have been solicited from Indian River County non-profit agencies. Day of Caring will team groups of <br />employees to volunteer at an agency on October 16, giving them fust -hand experience with local non- <br />profit organizations. This unique event also offers an opportunity for your employees to learn how their <br />United Way contributions are used to support clients of member agencies and gives them a chance to get <br />to know each other better outside the work environment. Below are some comments we received from <br />last year's volunteers: <br />"The refarbfshment of the Creative Playground in Vero Beach quickly became our team's <br />project choice since we helped assemble it several years ago. It's a good feeling knowing <br />we helped assure continued enjoyment of the playground by the children in our <br />community. " <br />Karen Merrill <br />Elliott -Merrill Community Management <br />"We were happy to help the Council on Aging with its project — removing and replacing <br />the roof of one of its adult day care facilities. Just knowing firsthand how much our work <br />was appreciated made it all worthwhile. " <br />Sheriff Gary Wheeler <br />Indian River County <br />"Helping Samaritan Center complete a facility to store donated items for clients to use <br />upon graduation from the program heightened our awareness of the challenges homeless <br />families must overcome in order to have a home to call their own.
