Day of Caring Returns in 2022
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
United Way Blackhawk Region's Day of Caring returns live and in-person this year on Wednesday, September 14 and we invite you to register volunteer teams to work on community service projects.
 
Who?
Only corporate partners that facilitate United Way workplace / employee giving campaigns are invited to submit volunteer teams. This hugely popular event is orchestrated annually by United Way and serves as a value-add to nonprofits, as well as our generous partners in the private sector.
 
What?
Day of Caring is an annual day of action where corporate teams of volunteers roll up their sleeves to work on half-day and full-day projects, that local nonprofits may not have the financial or labor resources to tackle.
 
When?
Registration is open! You may submit volunteer teams up until the deadline at 5 p.m. on Friday, August 12, 2022.
 
Where?
Day of Caring projects are hosted at nonprofit / community organizations across the Blackhawk Region (Rock County, WI and northern Winnebago County, IL).
 
Prior to Registration:
โœ” Every Team must identify a Team Lead. Team Leads are responsible for helping to disseminate Day of Caring info to their team members.
โœ” The registration form will ask for the Team Lead and their team members' names, email addresses, t-shirt sizes, and breakfast RSVP. It's most efficient to wait to register until you've collected all of this data.
โœ” Teams will be asked their preference for a half-day (morning or afternoon) or full-day project.

United Way's Day of Caring and the 2022 Community Campaign kicks off on Wednesday, September 14, with breakfast at ABC Supply Stadium, home field of the Beloit Sky Carp, the High-A Central affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
