The Day of Caring is Washington County, MD's largest annual single-day community service effort.  With the sponsorship of local businesses, individuals, and partners, as well as the mobilization of almost one thousand volunteers, our community rallies together to create positive change during this event.

United Way facilitates Day of Caring projects designed to serve our community's most vulnerable residents including those residents who are disabled or low-income, and our veterans and elder population. Many nonprofit organizations are also supported through this event - allowing them to continue focusing on their missions within our community. Day of Caring projects aim to improve the safety, mobility, access, organization, cleanliness, maintenance, and beautification of residential and nonprofit properties. All of these are done at no expense to our property owners or partner agencies.

Last year's Day of Caring allowed almost 1,000 volunteers to impact our community through service projects, collection drives, senior support, and delivering important health information. 

Even though Day of Caring is Washington County's Largest Single-Day Volunteer Event there are many days and many ways you can be involved!

Are you unavailable on Thursday, September 19th but still have a passion and desire to be a part of positive change in our community?

Does your item drive need to span over multiple weeks or months for the greatest impact?

Our Days of Caring community events are brought to you through collaboration with many of our local nonprofit partners leading up to the main event.

Stay tuned for further updates as we are in the planning stages for Day of Caring 2024!
