Day of Caring Projects

Day of Caring Catalog | Registration

The Day of Caring Program matches employers, employees and members of organized labor with projects that allow individuals a behind-the scenes look at nonprofit agencies in our community. Day of Caring volunteers make a firsthand difference in the community by working as a team to perform meaningful volunteer projects at a variety of different agencies.

Getting Started

Form a committee and designate a Day of Caring contact person.
View the Day of Caring Catalog and pick your project then pick a date for your Day of Caring activities. You may schedule projects now through the end of December. Projects are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Allow for plenty of time when scheduling project dates. Most agencies need 3-4 weeks, at minimum, to schedule volunteer groups.
