What is Day of Caring?

Day of Caring is an annual event that sends hundreds of volunteers out into our community to perform much-needed projects at nonprofit organizations. Georgia-Pacific, a leader in building community, sponsors our Lake Area United Way DayS of Caring. They are consistent in giving all over this area. 

In 2020, when a global pandemic kept us from doing our usual large gathering of community members and nonprofit agencies, we started doing multiple, smaller Days of Caring. 

We enjoyed stepping out of the box and creating days to give back to the community in a variety of ways at different times of the year...so Days of Caring continues into 2023.  

Why Participate? 

SHOW YOU CARE.
Days of Caring events are a much-loved volunteering tradition that expresses the philanthropic spirit of our community.

BUILD TEAMWORK.
After participating in Days of Caring, Lake Area United Way becomes more than a logo, pledge card or campaign rally. It becomes the means by which an individual can assist many people through one gift.

Everyone gets an up-close look to see how their United Way contributions help our community each and every day.
