Days of Caring

Days of Caring are community-wide expressions of the power of volunteering! They are hands-on, volunteer initiatives in which United Way connects volunteers from businesses, corporations, union groups, service clubs and/or donors with non-profit organizations in their communities to complete various projects that may not otherwise be done without the support of the community. Days of Caring can happen any time during the year, and all it takes is a group of community-minded people who want to make a personal connection with a local non-profit that could use a hand!

Participate in our Day of Caring!

During Days of Caring, agencies are matched with volunteers who are recruited from the community. The volunteers from workplaces are given time off by their employers and spend the day working on projects or doing assignments under the supervision of agency staff or volunteers. Volunteers from organizations gain insight into agency’s services, and how such agencies create a positive impact in our community.

Projects are submitted by non-profit agencies throughout the year, and can be a half day or full day projects. Most volunteers want their Day of Caring experience to be different from their day-to-day work.

"RBC believes strongly in supporting United Way nationally through our employee giving campaign. Day of Caring is a way of allowing our employees the opportunity to give back on a more person level and experience the actual needs within our community firsthand."
