Local organizations whose mission is to help others got help themselves.

The United Way of Greater Duluth kicked off its annual Day of Caring where volunteers helped out Twin Ports non–profits.

Nearly 20 volunteers spent their time at the Damiano Center preparing food, grilling and serving for their annual picnic which feeds about 500 people.

“I think it’s a wonderful thing just for the fact that it’s our family get together here,” Damiano food service manager Sandy Bennett said. “Gives us a reason to all get together to all be in good moods. To just show them that we care.”

Volunteers also went to Safe Haven, Goodwill and Community Action.
