Middlesex United Way’s annual Days
of Caring are being held the first two weeks of October, and teams of employees
from several companies are volunteering to support education in Middletown.
Middlesex United Way Day of Caring
is an annual event that matches groups of volunteers from local companies with
meaningful volunteer projects that advance the common good. Middlesex United
Way’s focus areas are education, income, health, and housing; this year, Day of
Caring projects support education by connecting companies to local schools.
Middlesex
Hospital employees volunteered at Macdonough School, where they walked students
to school, participated in a school-wide assembly, and did literacy and art
projects with students. At Snow School, Liberty Bank employees talked with
students about their careers, helped students with an art project depicting
their career goals, and made a mural using the students’ artwork. At Bielefield
School, employees from Brown & Brown of CT, TD Bank and Russell Library
read to students and helped them make bookmarks, some of which were donated to
the Russell Library. In
addition, Wesleyan University employees will be volunteering for an upcoming project
at Farm Hill School.
Over
several days, teams are volunteering at nine schools in six Middlesex County
towns. Volunteers are doing storytelling, reading, and activities with children
in the classroom; speaking about their careers; and improving the learning
environment for children through gardening, mural, and other beautification
projects.
Teams
of volunteers from local companies donate their time to these volunteer
projects. Participating companies include ATD Wireless Zone, Brown & Brown
of CT, Carlson & Dumeer LLC, Citizen’s Bank, Clean Choice Commercial

Hospital, Rolls Royce Naval Marine, Inc, Russell Library, TD Bank, Tower
