More than 1,000 people turned out for the Y-12 National Security Complex’s annual Day of Volunteering last weekend to help nonprofit agencies in the region with about 60 projects. This was the program’s largest turnout in 10 years, according to a press release from B&W Y-12.
The work benefits local individuals and organizations.
“Our folks volunteer year-round, but this annual event is a great reminder of how individuals working together can make a big difference in our communities,†said Darrel Kohlhorst, president and general manager of B&W Y-12, which buys the supplies for volunteers to use on the projects.
