Wednesday, August 7 marks the date for Livingston County United Way’s 22nd Annual Day of Caring. Volunteers are still needed for the one-day community impact event that brings together volunteers to assist those needing help in our community. Volunteers can choose to work at projects from 9-noon, 1-4 pm or all day. Deadline to register as a volunteer is Sunday, June 30.

Currently, there are approximately 70 worksite requests from local seniors, schools, churches, disabled residents and nonprofit agencies. A minimum of 500 volunteers is still needed to support the various projects. The worksite requests are often minor household repairs/projects, cleaning and yard work that a homeowner is not able to do on their own.

There is also a mid-day picnic, generously hosted by Citizens Insurance, for all of the hard-working Day of Caring volunteers to enjoy. Individuals, families, youth organizations, teams from companies, are all encouraged to sign up now to make a difference in the lives of others in Livingston County through the Day of Caring.

In 2023, 50 projects took place and involved 750 volunteers.
