Greensboro, NC (June 3, 2021) – United Way of Greater Greensboro, in partnership with The Volunteer Center of the Triad, is promoting volunteerism on United Way’s Day of Action, June 21.

On and around June 21, tens of thousands of people across the globe will volunteer as part of United Way worldwide’s Day of Action. Locally in Greensboro, all members of the community are encouraged to make a difference. United Way’s Day of Action provides opportunities for volunteers, donors and advocates to be part of solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives.

Members of the community are invited to participate in a clean-up of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on June 21, 9 – 10:30 a.m. Visit www.UnitedWayGSO.org/Volunteer to sign up.

“As a community united, we must continue to learn and work together to create equity-focused systematic changes, which is why United Way of Greater Greensboro is using this year’s Day of Action as a volunteering and equity-focused learning opportunity. Participants will help clean up our community and learn about the history and impacts of environmental racism,” said Michael Cottingham, Vice President of Marketing & Communications, United Way of Greater Greensboro.

Community members who are unable to attend the June 21 clean-up are encouraged to host clean-ups of their own. Visit www.UnitedWayGSO.org/Volunteer to view the Greensboro litter hotspot map, choose a location, and organize their own volunteer clean-up.

United Way and the Volunteer Center encourage everyone to create their own safe and meaningful volunteer experience, share it on social media and tag United Way of Greater Greensboro.
