Day of Caring 2027:
       Tuesday, April 20th  (Details: TBA)

United Way Lake & Sumter’s annual Day of Caring brings neighbors together to support local nonprofit organizations through hands-on, project-based volunteer opportunities.

Each year, individuals, families, and teams step up to make a meaningful difference – whether it’s beautifying community spaces, supporting local programs, or lending a hand where it’s needed most. These moments of service create a powerful ripple effect, strengthening connections, building relationships, and helping create a more resilient community for all.

Day of Caring may be a single day, but the need (and the opportunity to help) is year-round.

Keep the Momentum Going

If you’re feeling inspired to get involved, there are many ways to stay connected and make an impact year-round. Our partner organizations offer ongoing opportunities to volunteer across the community.
