Day of Caring is United Way’s largest single-day volunteer event, uniting people from all corners of Northwest Indiana to roll up their sleeves and make a difference together.

What began as a national movement in 1992 has grown into a powerful local tradition rooted in our commitment to creating real, measurable impact. Every project completed on this day supports one of our four key focus areas: Financial Stability, Resilient Communities, Healthy Communities, and Youth Opportunities.

Whether it’s revitalizing a park, preparing classroom materials, assembling hygiene kits, or supporting food pantries, Day of Caring brings our mission to life—one act of service at a time.

By donating to Day of Caring, you’re helping to fuel the programs and partnerships that make this event possible. Your donation helps sustain this impact every day providing resources for long-term solutions and real, measurable change across our region.
