MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. --  Volunteers needed for Day of Caring
Volunteers are needed to help out with the Combined Federal Campaign's annual Day of Caring Oct. 16 starting at 8:30 a.m. The Day of Caring matches volunteers with needy Great Falls community members to perform a variety of household chores and yard work to help them get ready for the colder winter months. It is a combined effort between Malmstrom, the Postal Service, Air National Guard and Forest Service. You can sign up on the 10-Day Share Drive where there is a folder called CFC 2009. Within that folder is a Day of Caring sign-up sheet, or you can call 1st Lt. Tamara Wyatt for more information at 731-2262.
