United Way of Greater McHenry County Organizes November Days of Caring for Partner Agencies

The Werner/Knaack Team in Crystal Lake included United Way's Day of Caring project with their yearly campaign. The company adopted the supply drive to fill TLS Veterans' internal food pantry. Pictured above from left: Heather Arnold (United Way), Kris Holt (Werner/Knaack), Jerry Draffkorn (Werner/Knaack), Cindy Hill (Werner/Knaack), Karolina Lernacinska (Werner/Knaack), Laura Franz (TLS Veterans), Matt Napier (Werner/Knaack), Carole Peters (United Way).

United Way of Greater McHenry County is extremely proud and grateful to our corporate donors and all their employees who embraced one of our November Day of Caring projects! Early this fall, we asked all 30 of our partner agencies to submit a project or idea that a company could adopt to engage employees and to make a difference! Our staff was overjoyed at the response from both the nonprofit agencies and donors! We matched 14 companies/families to 14 different projects (some taking on several different projects) and the results were not only impressive, but heartwarming! Check out a few below...
Interested in getting your company to adopt a Day of Caring with us in February? Reach out to us and let us know at
