    We had a great group of volunteers today for the United Way of the Capital Region Day of Caring 2024. Volunteers came from McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, TEKsystems, and Phoenix Contact USA to help us beautify our building inside and out! They painted, weeded, mulched and cleaned. We are so grateful for the work they did and how the community continues to support us every day. THANK YOU! 🫶🧡 #UWCRdoc2024
