United Way Volunteers Install Pathway at Grassroots

During United Way of Central Maryland’s recent annual Day of Action, volunteers installed a new pathway of stepping stones connecting the Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center property on Freetown Road and the back parking lot. The group also removed large rocks from the Children’s Playground.

For more than 90 years, United Way of Central Maryland has been improving lives in the communities it serves: Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll County, Harford County and Howard County, Maryland. The annual Day of Action includes tackling projects in these communities.
