Day of Caring
Each year, for one day in the fall, up to 2,000 volunteers gather for a day of service, camaraderie and fun! It’s the largest one-day service event in Cass and Clay counties. Its main purpose is to help area seniors with light home repair and maintenance, but really, everyone benefits.
- Volunteers get the satisfaction of knowing they’ve directly impacted the life of a fellow community member. Not only do they see their handiwork, they also experience the gratitude of the recipient.
- Work teams are often made of co-workers or groups of students who might not have many opportunities to gather outside their regular setting. This day is a great team-building event.
- Seniors get some much-needed projects completed without having to spend limited income on hired help. They also get a day of companionship.
- United Way benefits from having a committed group of volunteers who get to see firsthand what it means to live united within a community.
Lives have been changed because of your gift.
