United Way of Washington County is inviting nonprofit partners to participate in a Day of Caring on Saturday, Oct. 17, according to an Oct. 2 statement. The event will focus on helping Cherish Families create a new Serenity Garden in Hildale.
The Serenity Garden is being developed to serve as a peaceful and welcoming outdoor space for individuals and families served by Cherish Families. Brandon Sieverts, Executive Director of United Way of Washington County, stated that the event offers a chance for the nonprofit community to work side-by-side on a project that benefits another member of the community.
Instead of the organization's regular monthly nonprofit partner breakfast, the October gathering will involve hands-on volunteer work. Sieverts noted that the initiative allows organizations to step outside their individual missions to support one another.
United Way of Washington County is seeking various forms of support for the project. Organizations may contribute by providing volunteers, donating landscaping materials, or sponsoring $100 toward the project. The organization is also working to secure donations of plants, rock, and other landscaping materials.
United Way of Washington County will provide additional information regarding volunteer times, transportation, and day-of logistics as the event approaches. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the organization to participate or to share donation information with potential contributors.
