United Way of the Southern Tier sponsors an annual day of volunteering at nonprofits throughout our community.
Day of Action 2026 will take place on Friday, June 12.
Thank you to the 450 people who volunteered for the 2025 Day of Action -- painting walls, pulling weeds, planting flowers, and so much more at 40 locations in the region!
“Volunteers are the backbone of the local non-profit community, providing valuable support and allowing organizations to focus their efforts and, importantly, financial resources on serving residents in need,” said Maleaha R. Smith, CEO of United Way of the Southern Tier. “United Way is appreciative of all who volunteer on Day of Action and every day.”
