Summer Reading Program

  • United Way of Inner Wisconsin will be holding its first-ever Summer Reading Program.  The program kicks off with a children’s book drive, which will be held March 15, 2010 until April 30, 2010.  New and gently used books for children ages birth to 12 years will be accepted.  Books can be dropped off at:  United Way of Inner Wisconsin, 351 Oak Street, Wisconsin Rapids, WI; and the Adams-Friendship Area School District Administrative Offices, 201 W 6th St., Friendship, WI.
  • In June, 2010, there will be a series of “Reading in the Park” events, where a local celebrity from several communities will be reading a book to children who attend.  At the end of the event, each child will receive a free book to take home.

Did You Know...?

Last year, United Way of Inner Wisconsin's Volunteer Center processed 577 volunteer referrals in south Wood and Adams Counties.  This includes online referrals through www.volunteerinnerwisc.organd phone referrals for ongoing and one-time volunteer opportunities including events like Stuff the School Bus and Day of Caring.
 
This is important because increasingly non-profit organizations are depending on volunteers to help make a difference on our communities.  According to the Hands On Network, the average value of a volunteer hour is $20.25.
