Join UWBC's Week of Action and Make a Difference in Brazoria County!

What is UWBC Week of Action?

UWBC’s Week of Action is an annual event that celebrates volunteerism by bringing together teams from local businesses, churches, families, and civic groups to create a positive impact on their community. Week of Action is a community-wide event and an excellent opportunity for volunteers to give back. Mark your calendar for September 16-20, 2024!

The Value of Volunteering:

While the projects seem simple, the tasks cannot be accomplished without these volunteers. Building a stronger community and addressing the root cause of many issues is dependent on volunteer assistance. Volunteers partnering with United Way of Brazoria County have the ability to impact lasting change in Brazoria County across issues affecting every community. Volunteers receive personal satisfaction from helping and gain perspective on the needs in their community. If solving community problems isn’t motivation enough for volunteering, reports also show that volunteering helps you live longer. Volunteering can benefit each of us in the following ways:

• Feel better - physically, mentally, and emotionally
• Manage and lower stress levels
• Develop a deeper connection to the community and to others
• Achieve higher productivity from employees who volunteer
• Foster stronger relationships with colleagues
• Gain positive feelings for employers who promote volunteering.

Whether it involves painting, scrubbing, or planting, volunteers serve with a smile, build new connections, and create a wave of kindness that will be felt in our community for quite some time. If you are interested in being a volunteer at the 2024 Week of Action, click this link to sign up.
