Community Care Days
Give an hour. Give a Saturday. Give a Wednesday afternoon. Stay local. Or experience a new part of town. No matter when or where you participate, coming together to volunteer is one of the best ways to connect heads, hearts and hands around United Way's work to create lasting change.
Last year, more than 11,500 volunteers completed 813 projects, giving 44,000 hours of service and saving more than $1 million in donated time and materials! Along the way, they built teamwork, gained leadership skills, and earned recognition for their organization's commitment to advancing the common good.
JOIN US THIS YEAR!
This year We hope to engage 13,000 volunteers in completing 55,000 hours at 1,000 projects, with an impact of more than $1.3 million contributed through volunteer time and materials.
