United Way’s Day of Caring is an annual event which brings volunteers from across the community together for one day of collective, meaningful impact. The Day of Caring is an opportunity to use your time and talents to support United Way and our community. It provides an opportunity to see first-hand the work United Way and our partners are doing to improve education, income and health in our community.

 

This year’s Day of Caring was held September 16, 2015. We had over 90 volunteers participate this year. Volunteers worked on a number of projects like building community garden beds, assisting in childcare centers, painting and sorting food donations.

 

In total, volunteers contributed over 450 hours of their time to making a difference in our community. Volunteers also raised over $1500 to purchase supplies for local schools. You can see photos of our volunteers in action here.
