The Brandon office is optimistic about being able to return to holding events again this year, adjusting accordingly to meet any pandemic restrictions. These will hopefully include a Goofy Golf tournament, three Summer Sports Markets, the Tools for School Program, the annual Holiday Tree auction and a revised Lip Sync Battle.
The first is just two weeks away! United Way of Brandon & District “Week of Caring” starts with a day dedicated to SENIORS, with music and well wishes at care homes throughout Brandon… responsibly socially distant, of course!
Tuesday sees a drive thru collection for personal hygiene items, socks and underwear. Be sure to drop something off at the Keystone Centre in the south parking lot.
Wednesday is dedicated to Mental & Physical Health. Get ready for a virtual lunch hour session of sweat & well-being, with workouts led by Rocked Community Fitness & more!
Thursday is all about kindness! We’ll show some love to many who have supported the community and invite you to display a Random Act of Kindness. We could all use a little more love & kindness right now!
The week wraps Friday with a day dedicated to doing projects for agencies and non-profit organizations. If you belong to one and have a project you need some volunteers for, request an application from the United Way off now. The deadline for submitting them is April 15th at noon.
