“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?”

— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Unity manages community health events throughout the year in every ward of the District of Columbia. The community events — such as HIV awareness days, health fairs, and walkathons — educate people about critical health issues, offer screenings, and bring neighbors together for afternoons of fun.

Volunteers are essential to make these events successful. Volunteer also serve as readers for Key Corners, help collect and sort toys for our toy drive, and support many other efforts.
