Day of Caring Is Back on August 6th!
This year we are partnering with United Way of Porter County for their annual Day of Caring which will take place on Friday, August 6th. The kickoff breakfast will take place at the William Urschel Pavilion in downtown Valparaiso, followed by a full day of volunteer projects happening across the Region.
Projects take place at nonprofits, churches, community groups, and school organizations in Lake, LaPorte, Marshall, Newton, Porter and Starke Counties. Projects may be in-person, virtual/at-home and donation drives.
Projects will go live to the public on Monday, July 5th. While the official Day of Caring is the 6th, projects can take place all throughout the month of August. Nonprofits will be able to continue adding projects after the 5th, so if you don't see anything that works for you, please keep checking back for new opportunities.
If you have questions about how to use the site or how to sign up for a project please reach out to Rebecca Weber at rebecca@unitedwaypc.org.
