Volunteer – Day of Caring

Days of Caring connects volunteers with local nonprofit groups to complete projects that may not otherwise get done.

Projects range from painting a mural to building a playground or reading to preschoolers.

This unique event gives employees an opportunity to spend their workday or a Saturday on volunteer projects that make a difference in the lives of children, family and seniors.

Days of Caring also provides a way for companies and groups to develop long-lasting relationships with colleagues and agencies.
