United Way Day of Caring is the largest, single-day volunteer effort in our community!  In 2019, 800+ volunteers donated 5,000 hours of their time, rolled up their sleeves to landscape, paint, reorganize, harvest, build & refurbish at 60 different projects. Others visited, played games and took meals to the home bound.

Project Considerations

• Indoor and/or outdoor projects can be included.  If you have an outdoor project we recommend including an indoor option in case of rain.
• Projects can be between 4-8 hours
• Need to list the maximum number of volunteers needed - groups of all sizes will be volunteering
• Need to know if all materials will be provided (if not-  what is needed?)
• Volunteers like to work with the community you serve -
  • Interactions with children, adults, seniors, pets etc.
  • Consider volunteer activities like sports, healthy eating, ice cream socials, photo booths
  • Skilled volunteering - i.e. training/ teaching can be an option
