"Thank you for allowing
me to participate in the Day of Caring yesterday. ARC of the Piedmont
was a wonderful place to volunteer, and I hope to have the opportunity
to go there again. The staff there is so loving and caring and the
clients were warm, appreciative people. I cam away feeling very blessed,
both from the experience and because I was going home to my healthy
family."

"The Day of Caring
gives our employees a chance to get out and see where and what the
needs of our community are. It's a chance to actually do something
as well as learn what options are available if they ever need a resource
for a friend or family member."

of Caring event and the pre-planning was superb. Thank you for making
it so easy for us to give something back to our community. We all
feel great for participating."

"Our employees enjoyed
the feeling of "helping" and learning about those agencies
they were unfamiliar with–it began an ongoing relationship with
several of our employees on their own time. Day of Caring fosters
the caring attitude of people who sometimes just need that little
"push" and then become lifetime volunteers."

and came away with a real sense of accomplishment from our Day of
Caring project, and we all learned a great deal about the agency!"
