It's Care Day Season Again! | |

Every year, HomeAid hosts ten or more Care Days, volunteer workdays providing free-of-charge maintenance and repairs for locations serving people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Spring and fall are unoffically "Care Day Season," when HomeAid volunteers complete the majority of these events.
