Calling all Volunteers for the 2021 Day of Action!
The 2021 Day of Action will be held on Thursday, August 12, 2021 at the Communities in Schools Office (located at 410 Linden Street, Lincolnton, NC) and the West ARC (Asbury Resource Center) (located inside West Lincoln Middle School).

We need volunteers at the Communities in Schools Office between 1pm-4pm to sort and organize school supplies, collected during the Stuff the Bus campaign, to be used by Lincoln County staff and students as needed during the 2021-2022 school year. Volunteers will be working in the School Supply Closet located at the CIS Office.

We need volunteers at the West ARC between 1pm-3pm to organize and stock non-perishable food items and school supplies, collected during the Stuff the Bus campaign, to be distributed to students in need during the 2021-2022 school year. Volunteers will be working in the Resource Center located at West Lincoln Middle School.

Get involved and help bless students and families in Lincoln County! Hope to see you at the 2021 United Way of Lincoln County Day of Action!
