Make a Difference Day is October 26

Make a Difference day is Saturday, October 26. Locally, United Way Volunteer Connection coordinates hundreds of volunteers to rake leaves for elderly or disabled Marathon County residents. 

If you need assistance with leaf raking this fall, you can call United Way's 211 to register your yard, beginning on September 3. If you are interested in helping to rake leaves, you can register for raking on the Volunteer Connection site starting next week. If you have a corporate or school group and would like to rake during the week prior to Make a Difference Day, please contact Krista via email or phone at 715-298-5719. We will also need individuals with a truck or trailer to haul bagged leaves to the yard waste site. Please contact Krista for more details on that opportunity as well.
