United Way's Monthly Days of Action

Due to the high need in our communities in Oneida & Herkimer counties, it was decided that instead of one annual Day of Action, there would be monthly Days of Action to meet the needs of so many people and organizations. The United Way of the Mohawk Valley's Community Engagement Committee takes the lead each month for area clean-ups, partners with FX Matt Brewery for its Summer Concert Series, assists with Thanksgiving meal delivery projects and soon...will be building beds so no child sleeps on the floor with our newest partner Sleep in Heavenly Peace this August!

United Way of the Mohawk Valley collaborates with local organizations, municipalities, companies, and more to harness our network of volunteers to make a difference on one day of the month - sometimes two! Contact Tara Capponi at tarac@unitedwaymv.org if your organization is seeking a Day of Action in the upcoming months!

Past Projects

In previous years, we have packed thousands of meals to fill local food pantries, created painted activities on sidewalks to provide movement and exercise for our youth, and covered graffiti by working with local artists to create art through murals.

Born Learning Trails

In the past few years, we have installed 13 'Born Learning Trails' in local parks throughout the Mohawk Valley.

Born Learning Trails are interactive signs that offer fun, active learning activities for young children and their families. It helps parents, caregivers, and communities create quality engagement opportunities during a stroll or visit a local playground. The trails are the perfect way to help further our mission and focus on early childhood education!

Sponsors Needed

As always, to reflect the cost of these activities, we are in need of sponsors. Your company/organization's staff will receive countless benefits, make irreplaceable memories, and build long-lasting relationships experiencing our Days of Action!
