The Otsego County United Way is gearing up for its Day of Caring. Traditionally, Day of Caring engages around 100 individuals to complete a day of service for our community. This year there will be a morning rally on September 9, starting at 8:30 am, under the Pavilion downtown and then will disperse to their projects. Projects are made up of teams, to work on a wide variety of things like working at the Otsego Conservation Demonstration Gardens, renovating the Discovery Center, and painting a childcare room at NEMSCA. After volunteering, everyone is invited to congregate again for a celebration lunch under the pavilion. Volunteers, volunteer sites, and those impacted by the tornado are invited to attend. This year’s event is sponsored by Consumers Energy and holds special meaning as the community continues to respond to the needs of the tornado survivors. Both OCUW and Consumer's have been vital in the community healing post tornado.
