Each year on and around June 21, communities around the world come together to harness the volunteer spirit and improve the conditions in which they live. Join us for a #DayofAction Day of Action is an opportunity for communities to come together and address the issues that matter most to them. For some, it’s stuffing backpacks full of books to encourage reading and improve early literacy. For others, it’s planting community gardens to foster neighbourhood pride and promote affordable, healthy eating. Day of Action mirrors the work that United Way does year-round: empowering people to affect positive change in their own backyards, and across the Lower Mainland.
