How does
Week of Caring work?
Non-profit
agencies have completed their 2011 Week of Caring project
proposals. The projects they need volunteers to
assist them with are included on this

flyer.
If you are interested in volunteering for Week of Caring,
June 13-17, please choose a project that interests your
