Three cheers for Day of Caring!

SEPT 19, 2024 - Day of Caring is an amazing collaboration of our community that brings together volunteers on a single day to perform service projects across Payne County. These projects support our 24 local nonprofit partner agencies and the clients they serve, improve and beautify public spaces, and generate a sense of camaraderie and connection among participants.

To everyone who was able to volunteer or support Day of Caring, THANK YOU for your time, talent, and treasure! We hope you and your team had a wonderful experience. #UnitedWeThrive

The stats are in! With the energy and enthusiasm of 760+ volunteers, we completed 123 projects across Payne County. We estimate that 2,280 volunteer hours were donated on this single day. This success is due to you!

Want to make an impact beyond Day of Caring?

If you or your company are interested in more volunteer work with the organization you helped on Day of Caring, we encourage you to contact the organization directly.
