Livingston County United Way's Day of Caring
Day of Caring Volunteer Registration will be open May 1 - June 28
Get involved in the largest one-day community service event in Livingston County on Wednesday, August 7th!
The Livingston County United Way’s Day of Caring brings together volunteers from the community connecting them with local nonprofits, schools and community organizations to complete hands-on service projects.
LCUW collects worksite proposals from local residents, seniors, schools, disabled residents and non-profit agencies. The work is often minor household repair projects, cleaning and yard work that the homeowner is not able to do on their own. Anyone can recommend a work site and are encouraged to apply for a neighbor or friend who needs extra help. Deadline for worksite projects is June 10th.
Invite your friends, family, and co-workers to take part and make an impact on many lives in Livingston County at this year’s Day of Caring on Wednesday, August 7.
