Day of Caring


Our community's largest day of nonprofit support of the year!

Thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and partner agencies!

 

WHAT IS DAY OF CARING?

Day of Caring is our community's largest day of the year for volunteering and is recognized as the official kickoff for United Way of the Virginia Peninsula's annual giving campaign. Day of Caring brings together hundreds of volunteers from across the Virginia Peninsula to create a positive impact for nonprofits and human service providers, helping our neighbors in need. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who lives or works in our community to gain a deeper understanding of local needs. Stay tuned for more details coming soon regarding our event, projects, and activities.

Registration is available on Volunteer Peninsula, where you can sign up for projects, such as completing yardwork for low-income residents, reading to children, packing food bags for seniors, and more.

GET INVOLVED!
