Day of Action is a global movement in partnership with United Way Worldwide that takes place on or around June 21st each year. Trident United Way coordinates service opportunities to benefit and support older adults (65+) in our Tri-County community.
2024 Day of Action
75 volunteers came together to give over 150 hours of their time to help older adults in our community for Trident United Way's 2024 Day of Action. From sorting food products and assembling food boxes with Lowcountry Food Bank to delivering meals with Meal on Wheels of Charleston and writing over 250 letters of encouragement to be distributed through East Cooper Meals on Wheels, you did it all!
A huge thank you to our volunteers from Bank of America, Elliott Davis, SouthState Bank, Thorne Health, USI Insurance Services and many community members for your amazing support and dedication.
