Day of Caring

The Volunteer Center of Greater Kalamazoo is a Member Agency of the Greater Kalamazoo United Way.

In support of volunteerism and collaboration, we are pleased to provide our volunteer recruitment services to assist the United Way with this important community program.

Day of Caring 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 GKUW Member Agencies. Day of Caring volunteers make a firsthand difference in the community by working as a team to perform meaningful community-improvement projects at many Greater Kalamazoo United Way Member Agencies.
