United Way of Larimer County will celebrate the 24th annual Make a Difference Day October 17th through October 23rd and everyone in our community is invited to participate in this county-wide day of service! The 2022 festivities will kick off with a week-long celebration of volunteerism in Larimer County beginning October 17.
According to the Independent Sector 2022 report, the current value of a volunteer hour is $29.95. At this rate, United Way of Larimer County’s Make a Difference Day projects are estimated to generate over $41,000 in value for our community provided all volunteer spots are filled.
“Make a Difference Day has been supporting Larimer County through volunteerism with local nonprofits and municipal partners for over 24 years. At United Way of Larimer County, we engage with community members and corporate partners, encouraging everyone to give their time and talent,” said Kylie Hibshman, Director of Community Engagement at United Way of Larimer County. “We’ve heard from local nonprofit agencies that regular, on-going volunteering is needed. Make a Difference Day is a great way to get involved in our community and learn about the local nonprofit organizations that need volunteers.”
