Dear Community Partners,

We need your help.

When we launched the 814 Day of Action, our goal was simple: bring our community together to make Bradford stronger through service. We know schedules can be challenging, which is why we expanded this year’s event to two volunteer days—giving businesses the opportunity to participate during the workweek and offering a weekend option for individuals and families whose work commitments made Friday difficult.

To complete the community projects already scheduled, we need at least 15 more volunteers on Saturday.

This event is about more than painting, cleaning, or completing projects. It’s about neighbors helping neighbors, businesses investing in the community they serve, and showing what we can accomplish when we work together.

Volunteer Information

• Friday, August 14 and Saturday, August 15
• Registration: 8:00 – 9:00am on Friday at the UWBA Office and 9:00–10:00am on Saturday at the First Presbyterian Church 
• Volunteer projects begin immediately following registration

Thanks to the generosity of our community partners:

• Every volunteer will receive a FREE event T-shirt, sponsored by Georgia-Pacific.
