Building a Stronger Community, Together
Washington County's Single-Largest Volunteer Effort
Join us on September 15, 2022
The Day of Caring is the single largest 1-day community service effort in Washington County, MD. With the help from local sponsors and businesses, as well as the mobilization of hundreds of local volunteers, our community rallies together to create positive change. United Way facilitates Day of Caring projects that are designed to serve our community's most vulnerable residents including the elderly, disabled, low-income, and military veterans at no cost to them. Many nonprofit organizations are also supported through this event which allows them to continue focusing on serving the needs of Washington County. Day of Caring projects aim to improve the safety, mobility, access, organization, cleanliness, maintenance, and beautification of residential and nonprofit properties.
Despite the ongoing pandemic and its challenges, last year's Day of Caring was another success! Hundreds of workplace volunteers showed up to impact our community through service projects, collection drives, senior support, and delivering important health information.
The Project Request deadline was June 30th, 2022, but project requests after this date will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Contact Jocelyn Hauer for consideration. by emailing jhauer@uwwcmd.org.
