Join community volunteers for United Way Quad Cities’ Day of Caring

United Way Quad Cities’ Day of Caring is one of the region’s most anticipated days of community action. This September 10, we invite you to be part of it.

Businesses, organizations and individuals from neighborhoods across the Quad Cities are invited to choose a project, join a team and experience firsthand what becomes possible when a community unites around a shared purpose. Whether you are returning for another year or participating for the first time, Day of Caring offers a meaningful way to give back and connect with the community.

United Way Quad Cities recruits nonprofit partners, matches volunteers to projects where they can make the greatest difference and provides the coordination that turns a single day of action into measurable, lasting impact across the region.

Volunteer projects span the full range of what it takes to strengthen a community, and there is something for everyone. Whatever your skills, Day of Caring is your chance to show up, do something meaningful and leave knowing you made a difference.

“Day of Caring is one of those inspiring days when you can feel the community moving in the same direction,” said Karrie Abbott, chief operating officer at United Way Quad Cities. “People come from all walks of life – from corner offices and front porches alike – and for one day they share a single purpose: strengthening the place we all call home. That’s something worth being part of.”

United Way Quad Cities coordinates Day of Caring as part of its mission to align partners, invest where impact can scale and strengthen the systems behind learning, earning and health across the region. This year’s goal is to bring together more than 1,000 community members in service to their community. Every volunteer who registers, every organization that participates and every project completed helps create the kind of good news our community needs. Together, they are proving that united is the way we make good news happen.
