MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY! October 27, 2012

For 22 years, USA WEEKEND, Newman’sOwn and HandsOn Network have joined together to sponsor Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of helping others each October.

This year Make A Difference Day is on Saturday, October 27, 2012. Locally the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley will seize the moment to inspire, equip and mobilize corporations, nonprofit organizations, families and individuals to improve their communities.

The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley has various events planned, including a month long supply collection for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley. Additionally, in partnership with the University of Northern Iowa’s Student Involvement Center, more than 150 UNI students will engage in service acts on Saturday, October 27 throughout the Cedar Valley.

Individuals are welcome to participate in Make A Difference Day by volunteering in their own way. The Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley works with 92 nonprofits that offer over 150 volunteer opportunities. Visit www.vccv.org to learn about these opportunities.
