United Way of Central Illinois is hosting a Day of Action on Friday, April 28 from 1-4 p.m. Per United Way, “Day of Action is a program designed to promote volunteerism and demonstrate what we can achieve when individuals, organizations and businesses work together.”

LLCC will be sending a delegation of faculty and staff to show our support for United Way and our community. Here’s what you need to know:

• Faculty and staff can choose to drive themselves to the Day of Action location (TBD), or carpool together in a LLCC vehicle.
• We will be assigned a work location closer to the day of the event. As of right now, there are opportunities to do landscaping and painting. In the past, participants have helped sort food and clothing as well as tear down small structures.
• Participants will receive a free T-shirt. Yippee!
• You will have the opportunity to get to know some other awesome people that work at LLCC.
• Since this is during the workday, no need to clock out while volunteering.

Interested? Check in with your supervisor to make sure you can participate, and then fill out the United Way Day of Action Sign Up Form by Wednesday, April 5. There are a limited number of spots, so talk with your supervisor today.
