Day of Caring is a half-day event that connects volunteers with projects for nonprofits, government, and low-income individuals in the community, hosted by United Way of the Yampa Valley since 1998. Every spring, individual and corporate volunteers join forces to share their time and talents on projects at nonprofits across the Yampa Valley. Volunteers who participate in Day of Caring gain first-hand experience in how giving back to their community through work that saves labor costs and allows nonprofits to invest their efforts where they make the greatest impact.
Volunteering is essential to keeping our community connected and supporting local causes. You can change a life with your time and talent when you volunteer with United Way of the Yampa Valley.
Here’s what participants are saying about the past Day of Caring events:
Thank you, Kate!! Your team always does such a great job!!! Thank you for the opportunity to sponsor this awesome event. I am always impressed with the participation and scope of what we can accomplish.
• Zach Chelburg, Bank of the San Juans
I just want to extend a big THANK YOU for all your help at the shelter yesterday!! We have been hard at work making updates, so this is a comfortable home for those fleeing violence, and we made huge strides yesterday thanks to your support!
• With gratitude, Chelsie, and the Advocates Team
We really enjoyed helping at LiftUp! Thanks so much for spearheading this important event.
• Deana Von Almen, Yampa Valley Bank
I just wanted to say thank you so much on behalf of Discovery Learning Center. Our volunteers came in their bright red shirts and really worked hard cleaning all our windows before our “graduations”! Everyone has commented on what a great job they did, and they did it with a smile!
