United Way of Larimer County will celebrate the 24th annual Make a Difference Day from October 17 through October 23.
The 2022 festivities will kick off with a week-long celebration of volunteerism in Larimer County beginning October 17. United way invites the public to participate in this community-wide day of service, which United Way recognizes annually in October. According to the Independent Sector 2022 report, the current value of a volunteer hour is $29.95. At this rate, United Way of Larimer County’s Make a Difference Day projects are estimated to generate over $41,000 in value for our community, provided all volunteer spots fill up.
“Make a Difference Day has supported Larimer County through volunteerism with local nonprofits and
municipal partners for over 24 years. At United Way of Larimer County, we engage with community members
and corporate partners, encouraging everyone to give their time and talent,” said Kylie Hibshman, Director of
