Day of Caring is a one-day, community-wide volunteer event that allows people an opportunity to see first-hand the needs in this community and work together to make a real difference.
It connects volunteer groups from local business and industry with non-profit agencies in need of assistance. It is the best, most organized way for individuals to make a difference in their community.
Day of Caring will be the most visible community event of the year!
