Volunteer Team Reminders

Every Team must identify a Team Lead, who is responsible for helping to share Day of Caring info with their team members.
The registration form will ask for the Team Lead and their team members' names, emails, t-shirt sizes, and breakfast RSVP. It's most efficient to wait to register until you've collected all this info.

Sponsor Day of Caring

United Way relies on the generosity of its annual Day of Caring sponsors to host this hugely popular event.
