From high school and college students to bankers and local Rotary Club members, the Routt County United Way’s 13th annual Day of Caring brought out more than 150 volunteers Wednesday. The event, which serves to help people and organizations across the community, put volunteers to work on 49 projects. In addition to a food drive for LIFT-UP of Routt County, other projects included cleanup and organizing of garages at Horizons Specialized Services group homes, repairs and maintenance on safe houses for Advocates Against Battering and Abuse, help for Independent Life clients and senior citizens with projects at their homes and cleaning up playgrounds at schools across the county. “I love to have this kind of community project where Rotarians get together and work together,” said Rotary President Mike Forney, who was with a group cleaning out a garage at a Horizons home. “The Day of Caring is a wonderful opportunity to do really physical stuff and to see the results.” Several projects took place in Hayden, including work on Habitat for Humanity homes. In addition, the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant donated 10 percent of Wednesday sales to United Way, and Ski Town See Day of Caring, page 14
