Approximately 270 volunteers arrived at The Salvation Army Plymouth Corp. on the morning of November 6 to participate in the Plymouth Community United Way’s ‘Make a Difference Day.’

 

After assembling into their groups and having a light breakfast, the volunteers dispersed throughout the Plymouth and Canton communities to help senior citizens rake leaves, clean flower beds and do an assortment of other outdoor tasks at 49 homes.

 

Some volunteers signed up to work in groups—including Girl Scout troops, local business groups, a group from the YMCA and a local student key club—while others came with a friend or a spouse. Although there are countless who participate in this event every year, there were many new volunteers who got involved for the first time this past Saturday.
