   "There is no better feeling than helping someone in need," said Rosa J. Correa of Micro Credit Bridgeport, chair of the 2002 Day of Caring Campaign.
   
   Last year, 19 local companies gave employees the day to work for health and human care agencies throughout the community. Projects ranged from landscaping a local community center to making holiday gifts for participants in a supported work program. Or, for those who were unable to participate in a group project, the Healthy Community Initiative at the Westfield Shoppingtown Trumbull offered the chance to volunteer in as little as an hour.
   
   "So many people only know United Way as an organization that does good work and that comes into their workplace each fall to raise money for the community," Correa said.

   According to volunteer Day of Caring Chair Rosa J. Correa, MicroCredit Bridgeport, the decision to expand the 2002 Day of Caring is a direct result of community feedback following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "We had considered canceling last year's Day of Caring following the attacks", said Correa, "but decided to go forward based on our first hand experience with the healing power of helping others. People started calling us the next day asking, 'what can I do to help?' Day of Caring provided an outlet for helping each other and working through our grief." Correa also noted the Day's efforts have extended to helping local municipalities coordinate candle light vigils to commemorate the victims of September 11.
