Week of Action

Week of Action

You are invited to join United Ways across Maine as we partner together while apart for the first statewide United Week of Action: 5 days with many ways to volunteer and give back.
 
United Week of Action is a re-imagined Day of Action, the largest day of volunteering in the state. With virtual and socially distanced ways for individuals and groups to volunteer and give back in their local community, Week of Action has something for everyone to engage, and make a difference.
 
The nine United Ways in Maine will host food, book, diaper, and basics needs drives across the state in support of ongoing pandemic recovery and rebuilding efforts.
