Thank You For Your Help!
The combined efforts of the more than 1000 volunteers who participated in this year's Day of Caring for Riverside County made the day's activities a huge success.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that when people here in Riverside County are given the chance to be kind to one another they come through with flying colors. Saturday September 20, 2008 was no different. You all deserve a big thanks for your efforts throughout the area.

An army of  volunteers were out at the various sites throughout the region lending a hand and making a difference in the lives of people who just simply needed something done for them. We made the call, and the effort put forth by you all was great, and again, we thank you all for making this year's campaign a huge success.

Without your help and the help of the many sponsors, none of this would have been possible.
Thanks to those who made possible this year's Day of Caring!

And Remember to LIVE UNITED...
