Nearly 750 volunteers across Southern Maine rolled up their sleeves for the area’s largest single day of community service on June 20. Powered by United Way of Southern Maine, this annual event mobilizes volunteers from more than 30 local businesses and organizations. 60 volunteers from seven local companies participated in projects at Sanford Housing Authority, Sanford Springvale YMCA, Southern Maine Agency on Aging, Springvale Public Library, Waypoint Maine, Inc., and York County Community Action Corp.
Day of Action connects volunteers with local nonprofits and schools, helping build capacity and strengthen community services. Volunteers provide critical support, allowing nonprofits to focus more resources on programming and services, especially for ALICE households (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) which make up one in three households in Southern Maine.
This year’s Day of Action was sponsored by Clark Insurance, Diodes Incorporated, and FMI, a TexTech Company.
