About
2025 Days of Caring is the week of October 20th through October 24th and continues the volunteering tradition with United Way of Northeast Georgia and its many Northeast Georgia partners. Days of Caring is a chance for our community to raise their hands and join in with some incredible nonprofits to make a tangible difference.
Projects will take place on multiple days and times, so be sure to look at each project shift to see which one fits best. If you are a signing up for a project as a group, be sure each volunteer completes a separate sign up. Register by September 25th to guarantee your t-shirt size.
We hope you can find a project that matches your passions! Join us and show our community how we Live United!
