 Day of Caring is chance for all individuals in our communities to give, advocate and volunteer. It’s a day to join hands, open your heart and find your voice.
Day of Caring is an annual United Way sponsored event offering hundreds of people the opportunity to volunteer at non-profit agencies in our community. Day of Caring began in 1992 as a way to help employees of local corporations interact with human service agencies and has grown since then. While United Way promotes community service volunteer efforts year-round, this day brings hundreds of people together to make a difference in their community.
Last year, over 500 volunteers participated in Day of Caring. United Way is again looking for generous individuals who can donate their time and talents. Volunteers can help in two ways this year – they can either experience first-hand the variety of services provided by local non-profit organizations or they can follow the example of Dave Pasqualicchio and pick up litter around their own businesses and homes or at other locations throughout the community. Time commitments range from a few hours to all day and we have projects big and small!
This opportunity is sponsored by: United Way of West Central Connecticut
