The 24th annual Day of Caring is back, and they’re looking for work.
The application period is now open for local non-profits, charitable, and community organizations to submit a job request.
The deadline is March 16 for jobs that range from painting, cleaning and gardening to yard work and minor repairs.
For 24 years, local companies and individuals come together to take on a variety of projects.
United Way, CpK Interior Products, and Cameco Corporation will be joined by employees from SABIC, Lakefront Utilities, Arclin Surfaces, Town of Cobourg, Stalwood Homes, AkzoNobel, and Home Building Centre for this day of giving back. The Lions Club of Cobourg have also generously donated the use of their hall and will provide a hot breakfast to all volunteers to help kick off the day.
Last year, more than 150 volunteers came together to complete 24 jobs across Northumberland County.
“The impact of this day lasts a lifetime for these individuals, groups, and organizations,” said Maggie Darling, Acting Executive Director, United Way Northumberland. “We are grateful for the support of local organizations and industries for contributing their time and resources to this necessary program in our community.”
