Registration remains open through May 27 for an upcoming event that will connect volunteers from local businesses with hands-on projects that benefit nonprofit organizations.

United Way of Mesa County has scheduled what’s billed as a Day of Action for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 4.  A free breakfast will be served to registered volunteers the morning of the event.

“The Day of Action represents a unique opportunity for our community to come together and create real impact, supporting organizations in completing projects they might otherwise struggle to achieve,” said Keira Auld, community impact manager with United Way of Mesa County. “Many individuals may also wish to volunteer, but find it challenging to commit on an ongoing basis. This event provides a wonderful way to give back that accommodates busy schedules.”

Auld said volunteer opportunities for the Day of Action have been sourced from such organizations as the Community Food Bank of Grand Junction, HomewardBound of the Grand Valley, A Little Help and the Counseling & Education Center. A diverse range of partners ensures volunteers can engage with causes that align with their interests. Project tasks range from painting and clean-up to yard work and beyond, she said.

Businesses and organizations seeking a team-building experience for employees are encouraged to participate in the Day of Action, Auld said. Volunteering in this
one-day initiative not only offers an opportunity to contribute to the community, but also provides valuable insights into the essential services offered. Moreover, the event will foster camaraderie and collaboration among participants, strengthening community bonds, she said.
