United Way Day of Caring volunteers |
The
annual United Way Day of Caring provides an opportunity to improve the
community through service. Last year over 1,800 people volunteered to help
central Indiana’s nonprofit organizations, schools, and childcare centers. We
were thankful to have some of these volunteers at HVAF last year. This year on
Friday, August 23rd, HVAF hosted more United Way volunteers.

One
of these volunteers was Raphael Adeola, 27, from Amica Insurance. “Our company
has two volunteer days a year and this is a great way to thank our veterans,”
he said. Raphael’s uncle served in the Army and his sister and brother-in law
served in the Air Force.
Jeffrey
Archey Jr., 24, a Loan Executive sponsored by UPS for United Way also wanted to
give back to our veterans. “I’m trying to get a greater understanding of all
the agencies United Way is associated with. It’s also a great feeling to come
out and do something for the veterans.”
Thank
you to those who participated this year. We hope to see you all again next
year!
