Last Friday, during the United Way Day of Action about one hundred volunteers
joined forces hoping to change somebody's life for the better. Our volunteers worked very hard on a very
humid Texas day. They delivered fans, did yard work, built an outdoor classroom, painted a fence and a
playroom, did some home repairs, collected items, etc.
During the day, we heard stories about how much people appreciated the volunteers' hard
work. One volunteer even said that for the first time she "experienced" United Way".
Today, at the GLUW office, we received a thank you note from one
of the households where some home repairs were done. We would like to share this wonderful thank you
note.
The impact of the day goes
so much farther than simply mowing a yard or repairing a home. We join this homeowner and the hundreds of other lives touched
in thanking the volunteers and local organizations who made such a huge
difference in our community.
That is what it means to LIVE
UNITED.
