IDAHO FALLS Volunteers with a local nonprofit are looking to help hundreds of people in eastern Idaho this week and they’re asking for your help.
The United Way is hosting a special Day of Action on May 21, where various activities and projects will be done for people in need.
Activities will include creating hygiene kits, making kindness kits for Meals on Wheels and partnering with Community Youth in Action to do yard work. Other projects will beautify the Habitat for Humanity Restore and review Red Cross emergency supplies.
“It’s a day that we ask you to help us put our mission into action by volunteering to help build a stronger community and better quality of life for our vulnerable neighbors. We are grateful for our corporate partners, our volunteers, and for the selfless work of our nonprofit partners who enrich the lives of many in our community,” says United Way of Idaho Falls & Bonneville County CEO Chris Wiersema.
