SOUTHBRIDGE/STURBRIDGE/CHARLTON – The United Way Day of Caring was celebrated throughout the world Friday, Sept. 14, 2018.Ā Locally, the United Way of Southbridge, Sturbridge and Charlton sponsored volunteer projects. Employees from local companies volunteered to do projects to help area nonprofits and charities. Unfortunately, one scheduled project had to be canceled. A representative from the American Red Cross was scheduled to work with a community volunteer to install smoke detectors in private homes. The American Red Cross had to pull that volunteer to help respond to the gas fires and explosions in the Lawrence, MA area instead.
