United Way Day at the Boys and Girls Club (Chatham)

United Way Ambassadors and staff had the opportunity to help teach responsibility to kids attending Boys and Girls Club in Chatham.  The kids painted pots and transplanted flowers and if they care for their flowers well over the next month they might be able to get a classroom pet.  United Way Ambassador, Patricia Dudley, told the kids about how to take care of their flowers and what to do to make them beautiful!

Your United Way is not just about fundraising.  Throughout the year, the United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County has requests from local nonprofits to assist with events, collect needed supplies, or help out in a crisis.  This is why our United Way Ambassadors Program is so important.

When we receive a request for volunteer help from a nonprofit, an email goes out to our Ambassadors with the specifics of the need.  It may be to help with registration at an event, serve soup at a fundraiser or help collect canned goods or school supplies in your place of work.  Ambassadors can decide whether or not they are able to assist with a request.  If not, there are always more opportunities coming!

Our only requirement for you to be an Ambassador is that you wear our United Way Ambassador T-shirt (provided to you free of charge) each time you volunteer through the program.

Want more information or want to sign up to be a United Way Ambassador?  Fill out the Contact Us form or call us at 434-792-3700.
