United Way Day of Caring is a day of service when local businesses encourage their employees to volunteer at nonprofit agencies and schools throughout the region. Volunteer teams of all sizes tackle meaningful projects addressing community and agency needs. The Day of Caring was established to promote the spirit and value of volunteerism, increase the awareness of local human service agencies and schools, and demonstrate what people working together for the community's good can accomplish.

Projects to benefit individuals (such as home repairs for an elderly resident) must be submitted by a caseworker through a sponsoring agency. Projects sponsors such as a for-profit assisted living facility may submit projects so long as such projects benefit the client. Agencies must submit projects through the United Way and not recruit volunteers directly.

Volunteers: Volunteers will be recruited from local businesses and organizations by the United Way. Each participating company or organization will provide a volunteer team leader to coordinate a volunteer team, select a project and communicate with an agency representative.
