Days of Caring

Welcome to Days of Caring 2023 – Celebrating 29 Years!

May and September 2023

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.

This year, Spring Days of Caring took place from May 8-12, with over 900 volunteers providing 3,600 hours of service to the Hancock County community. They completed more than 100 projects, with a value to the community of about $114,500.

Fall Days of Caring: Sept. 18-20, 2023

Because of the pandemic, Days of Caring 2020 was postponed from its usual date in May until September. Volunteers and agency leaders alike enjoyed the fall weather. A Fall Days of Caring event also helped agencies wrap up projects and prepare for winter, and allowed volunteers who aren't available in the spring a chance to help. After such a widely positive response, a three-day Fall Days of Caring event returned in 2021 and 2022 and is here to stay!

These events are a great opportunity to measurably improve people's lives in Hancock County. Thank you!
