BACKGROUND:

United Way's Day of Caring has become Escambia County's premier "hands-on" opportunity to help people and community service agencies. This event brings people from all segments of the business, government, and military communities together to perform needed volunteer projects at local non-profit organizations. Volunteers will do a variety of tasks for those most in need in our community. Each year, many companies, governmental agencies and the military allow their employees this opportunity to help the community and complete numerous projects at United Way funded agencies.

Any employee participating in this activity is already included in the current budget of their respective divisions. In lieu of the employee utilizing annual leave, the hours involved in the "Day of Caring" would be reported as administrative leave.
