On September 14th the United Way of Central Ohio hosted Community Care Day 2010. The goal of Community Care Day is to help local non-profit organizations by enlisting volunteer services from local companies.
Amethyst, Inc. was happy to welcome volunteers from the NBC 4 news team. The volunteers assisted with painting the dining area at one of Amethyst’s apartment complexes, as well as building and painting picnic tables for outside of Amethyst’s offices and treatment facility.
Our own Kathleen Gallant explained the impact that United Way has on Amethyst, Inc. to NBC 4, “The United Way has really come through for us. Those are some of our most important programs. They really help keep us afloat. We know that we're dedicated to it but to know that the rest of the community cares just as much makes you feel nice."
It was a rewarding day for volunteers and Amethyst clients residing in the housing units. We would like to thank everyone who helped at Community Care Day. Our volunteers included Janna Buckey, Colleen Marshall, Cabot Rea, Ike Walker, Reema Karmi, Kathy Lawson, Deborah Grivois, Jennifer Clement Kiser, Dan Bradley and Traci Hogue. Special thanks as well to Amethyst staff who supported the endeavor and United Way for organizing the event.
