This year's volunteers worked on a variety of projects at several locations throughout the county, including Capstone Academy, Sherwood Elementary School, West Pensacola Elementary School and the residence of a Council on Aging of West Florida client.
Each year, the one-day event gives participants an opportunity to learn about the needs of the community while helping a nonprofit agency or school. United Way of Escambia County matches groups and individuals with agencies and local schools to spend the day volunteering on various projects.
The volunteer work this year involved indoor and outdoor projects, from painting and landscaping to reading with children and organizing books at local elementary schools. Participating county departments and commissioners included District 4 Commissioner Grover Robinson, Corrections, Natural Resources Management, Public Safety and Public Works.
