Thank You United Way "Day of Caring" Volunteers

The Arc of Orleans County is truly grateful for the many volunteers who helped at our sites during the United Way "Day of Caring."  Volunteers from both Baxter and CRFS did a tremendous job painting, gardening, and doing other chores at our many sites: Camp Rainbow; Marshall Road, Stork Street, and Hamilton Street residences; and Academy Street Day Habilitation.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of you who volunteered and to Baxter and CRFS for allowing us to "borrow" your staff for the day!
