United Way KW’s 4th Day of Caring was a huge success!
On June 12th, 2013, 13 volunteer
teams from organizations throughout Kitchener Waterloo and area dispersed to 16
projects throughout our community. In total, there were 138 amazing volunteers who
came together for the day to donate their time and efforts towards making our
community a better place.
The festivities began with a morning
rally at Uptown Waterloo Public
Square 2012

Activities included landscaping, gardening, painting, food packaging,
shed building and tree planting. Many of the projects were outdoors and the
weather was absolutely perfect! Of the 16 projects that were completed, the busiest
was that of Sunlife Financial volunteers. They had over 20 volunteers
participate in a City of Waterloo tree planting project at the University of
Waterloo‘s Environmental Reserve! The City of Waterloo
Also in attendance at the Environmental
Reserve were Carlos, Sophie & Dave from 91.5
