Brookville, IN — United Way of Franklin County (UWFC) is encouraging continued service through the end of the month in keeping with the spirit of their recent Day of Caring. To be safe, UWFC is suggesting socially distanced “hands-off” projects for individuals.
Gather your family or friends and rake some leaves, or make a meal for a shut-in, write thank-you’s to essential workers, write encouraging letters to residents of Safe Passage or local nursing homes. Or start a donation drive for a local charity, some options are:
Red Life Food Bank
• Peanut butter
• Tuna or other canned meat
• Jelly
• Macaroni and cheese
• Canned Vegetables
