Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of the Midlands

Join us on the morning of June 13th to walk in the Juneteenth Parade! Parade begins on North 24th Street and we will walk along Lake and Sprague. Bring along your family and friends, everyone is welcome!

 

More details TBD.

We'll bring candy, swag and UWM/211 banners. That means we'll need you to pass out candy or help carry the banner. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk! Beforehand we will provide a t-shirt. We will know the exact line up the Wednesday before the event and will share the run down with volunteers that afternoon.

At United Way of the Midlands, we believe in bringing people together to build a stronger, more connected community—and we need your help to do just that!

We’re gearing up to participate in several upcoming community parades, and we’d love your support in making them extra special. We’re currently collecting individually wrapped candy to hand out along the parade routes—because sometimes a small treat can create a big moment of joy.

If you’re interested in donating, please sign up to let us know! A team member will follow up with all the details on how and where to drop off your donation.

Join us in spreading kindness, one piece of candy at a time.
