Welcome to Days of Caring 2025

May and September 2025

Days of Caring is a special, multi-day service event where volunteers lend a hand to help local nonprofit agencies and other social service-based organizations. United Way of Hancock County matches volunteer teams from local companies and service organizations with projects submitted by agencies for help. The volunteers then head out in force to complete projects such as landscaping, organizing, painting, planning an event, cleaning, construction — whatever is needed.

Spring Days of Caring will take place May 5-9 this year. In just five days during our Spring 2024 event, 900 volunteers completed 93 service projects for 45 different agencies. These Days of Caring teams provided 3,600 community service hours, a value to the community of about $120,564 (based on Independent Sector's 2024 value of a volunteer hour of $33.39). That is money these agencies could save to put directly toward their mission and services!
