A ‘Day of Caring’ for UCP of Eastern Connecticut

A "Day of Caring" was held at the UCP of Eastern Connecticut Day Program in Quaker Hill, CT on May 26^th. Congressman Joe Courtney and his staff volunteered to assist UCP of Eastern Connecticut staff members with projects that were long overdue and in much need of attention.

The "Day of Caring" initiative, administered by the local community United Way, is designed to foster collaboration with the Eastern Connecticut business community in order to facilitate private industry volunteer activity for local nonprofit human service agencies.

Projects completed for the affiiate involved hanging a mural in the community room used by UCP of Eastern Connecticut Day Program participants, refinishing dining tables and some light landscaping. Everyone had a good time working together while getting to know one another.

UCP of Eastern Connecticut staff would like to thank all volunteers and contributors, and the United Way of Southeastern Connecticut for including UCP of Eastern Connecticut in their "Day of Caring" Plans.
