The third annual Capt. Jason B. Jones Memorial Day of Caring is set. The event is hosted by the Schuylkill United Way and matches volunteers to service projects with the United Way’s Partner Agency organizations across the county. 

These organizations facilitate health and human services for free or little cost to county residents. According to the Republican Herald, the event became the “Capt. Jason B. Jones Memorial Day of Caring” in 2015, in honor of Jones, a Blue Mountain High School graduate who lost his life serving in the Army in Afghanistan on June 2, 2014. 

The event takes place May 11 with both indoor and outdoor service projects that vary from gardening to painting. 

All volunteers and locations must be registered through the Schuylkill County United Way by May 1st by calling 570-622-6421.
