Every year, the United Way of Stark County conducts the Day of Caring, through which volunteers from area companies help out at member agencies. This year, 91 volunteers from 11 area companies helped Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties on Thursday, Sept. 17. This remarkable turnout enabled us to fill 47 routes from our nutrition sites in Stark County.
Volunteers from Combi Packaging in Canton, who helped prepare meals from our commissary and then went out on deliveries from our administrative office, are pictured here. In addition to Combi, other companies who assisted this year were: Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty; The Health Plan - Hometown Region; Atkinson Feucht Hare Funeral Home; Smith, Barta & Co.; J.C. Penney; Huntington Bank; Poly One; Grove Appliance; The Timken Company; and The Repository.
After the morning deliveries, most volunteers returned to our office building in Massillon for a lunch prepared by our commissary staff. We appreciate the assistance provided by all of the corporate volunteers who helped Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties on the 2009 United Way Day of Caring.
