Day of Caring Volunteer Opportunities


United Way Northwest Indiana’s Day of Caring is a one-day, community-wide volunteer event that connects individuals and teams with local nonprofits, schools, and community organizations for hands-on service projects across Northwest Indiana.


All Day of Caring projects are designed to be completed in one day and make an immediate, visible impact.


Volunteer Projects May Include:



  • Painting, landscaping, and outdoor clean-up

  • Light repairs and facility improvements

  • Organizing supplies, classrooms, or community spaces

  • Assembling kits or preparing materials for programs

  • School, youth, and family support projects

  • Group projects ideal for corporate or employee teams


What to Know Before You Register:



  • Projects vary in physical activity and skill level

  • Most projects take place during standard daytime hours

  • You may register as an individual or as part of a team

  • Project details, locations, and instructions will be shared prior to the event


No prior volunteer experience is required—just a willingness to help and be part of something bigger.


By registering for Day of Caring, you are joining hundreds of volunteers committed to strengthening our community in a single day of action.
