PORT TOWNSEND — United Good Neighbors of Jefferson County will celebrate the community’s spirit of volunteerism during the second annual Day of Caring on Friday.
This will be the kickoff to the UGN 2013-2014 fundraising campaign.
The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Mountain View Commons, 1925 Blaine St.
A continental breakfast will be served, T-shirts will be distributed to volunteers, and the annual UGN “Good Neighbors” award will be presented to a local Good Neighbor from the community.
Hands-on help
From 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers will spread across the county, providing hands-on help — neighbor with neighbor — working alongside one another.
Volunteer projects include painting, cleanup, organizing and landscaping.
UGN matches volunteers with nonprofits.
