ESTEVAN - Volunteers turned out to show their support for others in the community during the United Way Estevan's annual Day of Caring on Wednesday.
Approximately 150 people volunteered during the day, with nearly 30 of them being from the United Way and the rest being people from the community. Many businesses and organizations allowed their employees to take the day off from work to support the Day of Caring.
Roughly 30 projects were completed during the day. Some of them were for organizations, others were for people in the community who wouldn't have been able to complete the work themselves.
A barbecue was served at the Estevan Alliance Church during the noon hour for the volunteers. It was the first time in three years that the barbecue has been able to happen during the event.
Sunshine baskets were also delivered to people in the community in need of some cheering up.
The next edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
