What is Service To Go?
Service To Go projects are ongoing, fun DIY projects that can be completed anywhere, anytime. They can be implemented on-site at your business, school, faith based group, or home, and they
provide meaningful resources for individuals, families, and children in need. United Way of Larimer County works with local nonprofits to identify ongoing needs in the community. Projects
range from “thinking of you” cards for homebound citizens, to first aid kits and fleece scarves for homeless individuals, to alphabet flashcards and joke books for children
staying at a local shelter. Your contribution makes a powerful impact!
