Care it Forward:

Let's Turn Every Day into a Day of Caring!

 

New for 2011, we've started something very exciting here at United Way KW.

Something we like to call “Care it Forward”.

Be prepared to hear those three words a lot this year.

Be prepared to hear from me a lot too.

 

“Care it Forward” is our way of turning every day into a Day of Caring.

The goal is to get you thinking about volunteerism and how you, too, can lend a helping hand.

I’ll be venturing out into our community and volunteering in many different ways. By blogging and tweeting about these experiences, I’ll show you just how easy it is to make a difference. I’ll be sure to include lots of photos and videos so you can see just how much fun caring can be. Pay attention, because I want you to be part of the “Care it Forward” movement too. Simply volunteer or do a good deed, then share your story with me. Who knows, I might mention you in my blog. I may even join you in your volunteering efforts. 

To help inspire you, we’ve made two new additions to our Community Spirit Awards roster - individual and corporate “Care it Forward” awards. What do you think? Are you up to the challenge?

Follow me as I volunteer my time and meet some of the amazing individuals and organizations in our area that exemplify the true spirit of a community hero. I’ll be sharing my adventures on our Community Heroes blog. I’ll also be reaching out through Twitter and Facebook.

Until next time, keep caring it forward,

Meg
