Days of Caring
Show the community how you LIVE UNITED by joining United Way for our annual Days of Caring
Paint a shelter. Clean a park. Build a trail. Plant a community garden. Serve a meal. Sort donations. Join hands. Give an hour. Give a Saturday.
Each year Days of Caring provides an opportunity for volunteer groups from companies, schools, churches, and other community groups across Marion, Polk, and Yamhill Counties to evoke change and create positive impact in the areas of education, income, and health. Volunteer groups choose from a variety of projects hosted by non-profit and government agencies that fit their interests and availability. All volunteers valuable information about the agency they are serving and the work being done across the Mid-Willamette Valley to improve the common good.
Days of Caring 2010 is September 6th-11th.

Days of Caring 2009
In 2009, we had over 1,600 volunteer connections across Marion, Polk, and Yamhill Counties. We believe that our community can build on this momentum and exceed the impact in 2010, helping to meet the increased need that our community is currently facing. Reach out a hand to one and influence the condition of all.
