As part of the United Way Days of Caring, nine volunteers from District Council 57 painted recreation and common areas at The Veteran’s Place – a homeless shelter in the Pittsburgh area that houses support services for homeless veterans. Members of DC 57 donated their time and energy to this project because they care about our veterans and want them to have nice living conditions while they are transitioning back into the community.
The council received the Fred Rogers Legacy Award for their commitment to volunteerism. The award is presented to “individuals who have made exemplary professional contributions and personal commitments to service that pay forward elements of Fred Rogers’ legacy as a person embodying universal human values, a creative artist, a teacher and model of core principles.”
