Days of Caring 2020

Addison County Responds — United Way of Addison County

The United Way of Addison County is enthusiastically preparing for their 2020 Annual Days of Caring event. As you may know, every year the United Way sends out hundreds of community volunteers to complete dozens of projects at non-profits throughout Addison County.  

As you can imagine, placing volunteers throughout the county to support our local nonprofits will look much different this year.  In fact, it’s going virtual the entire month of September for our very first Month of Caring!

Our mission remains the same in 2020: to help volunteers develop a deep understanding of nonprofit agencies and give back to their local Addison County community.  However, to keep our community healthy and safe, you as volunteers will do this individually throughout September, in your Month of Caring t-shirts. We request photos from you while volunteering, and at the close of the month, will host a virtual “appreciation party” for all participants and sponsors on September 30, 2020 that will include a video of the month’s participants in their t-shirts!

United Way and Vermont 2-1-1

Due to financial constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, United Way of Addison County’s  (UWAC) United@Work program has ended.  Thankfully, Vermont 2-1-1 and UWAC is still here for you!  Middlebury College employees can dial 211 from any phone for information about and referrals to health, community, government, and human services resources 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  You can also search the 211 online Community Resource Directory at www.vermont211.org.  

UWAC and VT 2-1-1 will continue to provide Resource of the Month information which we’ll continue to share in our newsletters and remember…. help is STILL only a phone call away!
