Giving back to your community by volunteering to help organizations that provide an important service to people in need is something we all should consider. Regardless of our station in life or our financial means in good or difficult times there are organizations that can always use your help.
The United Way of Summit County not only collects donations to help community organizations in their efforts to serve humanity, they also help to connect people with opportunities for public service.
