Registration Now Open for Make A Difference Delaware County – County’s Single Largest Day of Volunteering

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 28, 2019

Registration Now Open for Make A Difference Delaware County – County’s Single Largest Day of Volunteering

Delaware, Ohio – Connections Volunteer Center announced today that registration is now open for its award-winning day of service, Make A Difference Delaware County. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, October 26, 8 a.m. with a kickoff in two locations within the county: Camp Lazarus, 4422 Columbus Pike, Delaware, OH and Forman Insurance Agency, State Farm, 30 S. Vernon St., Sunbury, OH.  

Volunteers will receive a complimentary breakfast and project assignments for the day during the kickoff. Assignments will vary, but typical volunteer sites include a local county park, older adult’s home or non-profit agency.

Throughout the nearly three-hour-service period, volunteers will complete outdoor jobs such as leaf raking, window washing, painting and other related yard work. Upon finishing, volunteers are invited to return to Camp Lazarus for lunch – a heartfelt way to show appreciation for paying it forward.  

With an annual average of more than 400 volunteers, MDDC event coordinator Colleen Dennis says the day is a great way to give back, together.

“Each year, we get dozens of groups from businesses, places of worship, athletic teams and families from all over Delaware County who look forward to serving others in a collective way,” said Dennis. “Many often share with us how deeply rewarding it is to serve others and how the event strengthens their group’s cohesiveness and sense of team work.”

Dennis also shared that it’s the notes of appreciation from the nonprofits and older adults that puts things into purposeful perspective. Delaware resident Bev Avers is an older adult who received services during last year’s MDDC and was moved by the kindness and generosity of the volunteers. 

“I want to thank you for cleaning out all the thistles and weeds on the patio, and for washing my windows, removing screens and carrying the plants out,” said Ayers. “You all did such a wonderful job and I’m so appreciative and thankful – it was a joy to meet you! May God bless you as you continue to be a blessing to so many.”

Special thanks to the 2019 MDDC sponsors SourcePoint, IRONMAN Foundation, Forman Insurance Agency, State Farm, and Amanda Mowry of Modern Woodmen of America.
