Help United Way celebrate students and their families in our community before school starts this year! United Way is recruiting and managing volunteers to support the United for Youth (U4Y) Block Party in Pack Square on Thursday, August 18th. During this family-friendly event, volunteers will participate in setting up, checking in participants, handing out programs, assisting staff, and much more!
This event is an evening celebration of our community and brings together network partners, students, and families.
