Small Acts, Big Impact: United Way Employees and AmeriCorps VISTAs Bring Warmth and Growth to the Community
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley employees and AmeriCorps VISTAs participated in a series of service projects dedicated to strengthening the community through acts of kindness and connection.
On January 23, volunteers gathered at Ramos Elementary School, a United Way Community School in the Allentown School District, to support the construction of garden beds. Through this initiative, volunteers contributed to a long-term project that will serve as an educational tool and a source of support for the school community.
That same day, another group of volunteers spread warmth and cheer through a pop-up hot chocolate bar at Lehigh Valley Active Life. United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley partnered with the organization to provide members with a simple yet meaningful act of service that brought smiles and warmth to many on a cold winter day.
These efforts are part of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s ongoing commitment to honoring the legacy of Dr. King through action, service and meaningful engagement.
