TUCSON - For more than 80 years, United Way has asked volunteers to help schools and non-profit agencies.

It's called Days of Caring, but for this year to be a success, they need 500 more volunteers to help Saturday and next Wednesday.

United Way's Catherine Sebold said, "If we don't get the volunteers, then those projects will go unfulfilled, so we really like people to come out and volunteer."

They're all needed at hundreds of locations throughout Southern Arizona to help with things like painting, cleaning, landscaping, arts, crafts, and sewing.

Volunteer Alex Master-Judge helps out every year and says it feels good to be part of something with so much meaning.

Master-Judge said, "This is my home town, so it means a lot to me and I want to make sure we're doing the right things for the right people."

Monica Lopez works at Tucson's YMCA which is one of the locations getting some help.

Lopez said, "We're very excited, we are a non-profit organization and labor is very limited, so we can use all the help that we can get."

It's all a team effort to make Southern Arizona is able to help the people who truly need it.

If you would like to help out, just go to unitedwaytucson.org, or call 903-9000.
