Have a project that needs some community love?
United Way of Clatsop County (UWCC) is calling for project proposals from local community-based organizations for the 2023 Day of Caring on April 22nd, 2023. Does a local non-profit need a coat of paint? Maybe a community park needs some weeding? Or a food pantry needs some seasonal organization? Submit a proposal to us by sending the 2023 Day of Caring Project Request to clatsopunitedway@gmail.com.
Thank you to our Day of Caring sponsor,
