Each year, thousands volunteers come together for United Way’s Season of Caring. In 2016, United Way’s Volunteer Engagement Division set an ambitious goal for volunteers in our community: commit 16,750 hours of time to help local non-profits and people in need. However, volunteers in our community far exceeded this goal, dedicating 21,124 total hours!

Here are some of the best moments from the 2016 Season of Caring:
