Ready to make a difference in just one week?

From Monday, April 21-Saturday, April 26, United Way of the Midlands is bringing together 1,000 volunteers across 100 teams to tackle 100 community projectsand they need your help.

Why join?

Not only will you help with projects that support essential programs in education, housing, and healthcare, but you’ll also be fundraising to make an even bigger impact. Each participant is asked to raise $100, which will go directly to supporting these critical programs.

You’ll team up with 4-10 people — whether it’s your best friends, coworkers, or neighbors — and work together. Through partnerships with nonprofits like Senior Resources, Central South Carolina Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Club of the Midlands, Harvest Hope, and Camp Cole, United Way is strengthening our community.

So, grab your crew, pick a project, and start fundraising.
