MEDIA RELEASE__United Way of Hardin County launched its annual campaign with a successful Day of Caring, held August 21 and 22.
The two-day volunteer effort brought together 40 community volunteers who rolled up their sleeves to support local organizations and make a lasting impact throughout Hardin County.
Volunteers worked on projects at the Hardin County YMCA, Neighborhood Opportunity Center, Lake of Lights, and Hardin County Council on Aging.
Through cleaning and improvement projects that help organizations prepare their facilities to better serve the community, volunteers donated their time, energy, and skills to make a difference.
