The annual volunteer initiative takes place June 26 and connects volunteers with projects that support organizations throughout the community.

According to United Way Peterborough & District, the day is designed to provide hands-on help for agencies that rely on volunteers and community support to carry out their work.

Projects will include gardening, landscaping, painting, outdoor maintenance and assistance with event-day activities. Organizers say there are opportunities available for both experienced volunteers and those looking to get involved for the first time.

The goal is to complete meaningful projects that can have a lasting impact on local agencies and the people they serve.
