Days of Caring

Days of Caring is our community's single largest volunteer event. For two days every Fall, thousands of people from area businesses, schools, and community groups lend their time, talent, and energy to volunteer for projects that make a difference in our community. We invite you to be a part of the change. 

MLK Day of Service

Taking place on the third Monday of January, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is the only federal holiday that is designated as a National Day of Service. Join us by volunteering to help build a better community for all.
