The annual Heart of Kentucky United Way’s Day of Action was held Wednesday morning in Boyle, Lincoln, Garrard and Mercer counties. The event connects volunteers from local businesses with local nonprofit organizations that could use a bit of help in completing various projects, like painting, clean-up, yard work and washing windows.
