DAY OF CARING

On Day of Caring,  volunteers from all walks of life will set aside projects at home and work to help local non-profits and community members finish theirs. On Day of Caring, United Way aims to bring friends, families, co-workers, and community members together to make a positive impact in Mahaska County.

 

The day will be split into two shifts, with a Volunteer Appreciation Lunch scheduled between shifts. Volunteers can choose to work either the morning, afternoon,  or all day. United Way matches each volunteer team to projects based on their preferences and limitations. Projects range from simple clean-ups and painting, to minor construction work, so volunteers of all skill levels and abilities are welcomed to take part  - everyone can do something!

 

Last year on Day of Caring, nearly 200 volunteers, worked tirelessly to complete 19 projects! This year we expect to see many familiar faces and encourage new volunteers to participate in the Day of Caring fun. Non-profits, organizations, or individuals needing help with projects should fill out a Project Request form. Please submit as many projects as needed. Although United Way cannot guarantee that every project will be completed, we try our best to accommodate all requests.

Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow.

That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.
