Special Event Details
Day of Caring 2018
Dates: 10/12/2018 - 10/12/2018
United Way Suncoast Day of Caring Friday, October 12th, 2018 VOLUNTEERS COME TOGETHER AS ONE FOR DAY OF CARING. For the past 25 years, United Way Suncoast's Day of Caring has joined caring community members with community agencies, schools and other organizations that need them. Last year, 100+ projects were completed from over 40 teams and organizations across DeSoto, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas and Sarasota Counties. These corporate volunteers were able to add a value $286,952* back to the community. Day of Caring 2018 will once again take place in the following five counties: DeSoto, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas and Sarasota Counties. This year will bring you and your volunteer team together with projects most agencies could never undertake on their own. From weeding and planting at a neighborhood school, to scrubbing and painting the walls at a daycare or conducting mock interviews for low-income job seekers to resume building; whatever you and your team chooses, you can be the architects that help us build a better Suncoast Region.
*The Independent Sector, a leadership forum for charities, foundations and corporate giving programs, calculated the value of a volunteer in 2017 at $24.14 per hour.
Even if you cannot participate on October 12th this year, you can make everyday a Day of Caring by visiting www.volunteersuncoast.org or email DayofCaring@uwsuncoast.org for more information.
