Day of Action Empowers Volunteers to Build Stronger Communities

On Thursday, June 21st, United Way of the Southern Tier will be rallying hundreds of volunteers throughout the community for  United Way Worldwide’ s Day of Action, an annual event that mobilizes the caring power of volunteers to make a meaningful impact in more than 400 communities around the world. Here in Steuben and Chemung Counties, 350 volunteers were deployed last year at more than 38 different projects to assist local non-profits and community organizations.  

United Way of the Southern Tier has partnered with Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. for this year’s Day of Action Kick-off.  All volunteers will be meeting at one of the Wegmans Locations (Elmira, Corning, Hornell) to Kick-off the morning with breakfast, donated by Wegmans.
