Welcome to Days of Caring 2024 – Celebrating 40 Years!
May and September 2024
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 took place May 6-10 this year. In just five days, 900 volunteers completed 93 service projects for 45 different agencies. Spring 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 can save to put directly toward their mission and services!
Fall Days of Caring: Sept. 16-18, 2024
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 while allowing 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 is here to stay!
