Do you want to make a difference?

You may have heard on the news or read in the paper today that United Way and the City of Rochester have teamed up on a new volunteer initiative called OneCity Connection. We officially launched it yesterday at a media event with Mayor Duffy and Peter Carpino – the president of United Way of Gr. Rochester.

This collaboration is about linking people with volunteer projects. OneCityConnection.org is basically a virtual “hub” that people can go to learn more about what volunteer opportunities are available in the Rochester area. I just checked out the site and saw there are about 400 projects - so you won’t have a problem finding something you would like to do!

If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, click here to check out the site. It’s a great way to feel better about yourself -- and help make a difference in our city at the same time!
