(LARGO, FL Sept. 26, 2014) — Almost 80 employees from Valpak, a leader in local print and digital coupons, will roll up their sleeves and participate in the United Way Suncoast's 2014 Day of Caring at PARC, Thursday, Oct. 2.

Employees will spend the day sprucing up this United Way partner agency, volunteering their time and muscles, to help beautify PARC by painting and landscaping, including weeding, trimming, mulching and cleaning out flower beds.

The 22nd annual Day of Caring will bring together thousands of volunteers in one day to help organizations to provide important community services across Tampa Bay in the five counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough, DeSoto, Sarasota and Manatee. Nearly 2,200 volunteers from more than 120 local companies will work on 170 projects at local social service agencies, schools and community organizations.

"This is a great opportunity to get together with your co-workers and make a difference in our community," said Michael Vivio, president of Cox Target Media, provider of Valpak. "It can be hard work — but it's also great fun and very rewarding."

As a platinum sponsor of the United Way, Valpak has supported The United Way as a core charitable cause for at least 10 years, providing more than $1 million in support in printing and storage in that time. Valpak also matches employee donations every year in the annual United Way fund-raising campaign.

PARC — Providing Advocacy, Recognizing Abilities - is a non-profit organization that provides about 40 services to more than 800 children and adults with developmental disabilities. Through their miraculous stories and assistance from companies like Valpak, they exercise their independence and experience life to the fullest.

United Way Suncoast works to break the cycle of generational poverty through educational programs that give children the skills to succeed and help adults achieve financial stability so they can support themselves and their families. United Way focuses on programs in early literacy, youth success and financial stability.
