VOLUNTEERS COME TOGETHER
AS ONE FOR DAY OF CARING

For 17 years, United Way’s Day of Caring has joined caring community members with community agencies, schools and other organizations that need them. Last year, 141 teams from more than 98 companies and organizations across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties provided more than $222,000* worth of volunteer work for in just one day for the agencies.

The 18th annual Day of Caring 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 – whatever you and your team choose, you’ll be the architects that  help us build a better Tampa Bay.
