Summer vacation is almost here. Time to kick back after a long school year, put aside alarm clocks, homework and cramming for tests. This summer, consider volunteering as a family. It’s a fun opportunity for family bonding that’s beneficial to our great community and your child’s development.

Pack purpose and fun into your family’s summer this year, and make it count with one of the hundreds of opportunities available through the United Way Volunteer Center.

Giving your time and talents is rewarding, fun, and easy. Whether it’s for an hour or an entire day, volunteering is a great way to make a positive difference in the community. Here are a few ways for you to have fun and create unforgettable memories this summer by volunteering:
