OAUW Day of Caring returns May 1
The Orrville Area United Way, in partnership with the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce, will bring back its Day of Caring in 2024. This annual event is dedicated to fostering volunteerism and community improvement across Orrville, Dalton and Marshallville. Day of Caring serves as a platform for businesses, individuals and small groups to come together and engage in volunteer work, utilizing their skills and talents to enhance the lives of others.
In 2023 Day of Caring saw over 150 volunteers unite to complete 22 projects at 12 locations, with the participation of 15 local companies. This year organizers are aiming to surpass these figures, both in terms of volunteer participation and the number of projects undertaken.
Day of Caring is currently accepting applications for projects. Nonprofits and private individuals are encouraged to apply. Project applications will be accepted through March 15.
Volunteer registration will open Feb. 16 and run through April 15. Individuals and teams interested in participating are encouraged to sign up early.
