WHAT IS DAY OF CARING?

Day of Caring was established to promote the spirit and value of volunteerism, increase the awareness of local human service agencies and demonstrate how people working together for the good of the community can accomplish great things.
 
Volunteers work in collaboration with United Way partner agencies, other social service organizations, civic agencies, private non-profit agencies, and neighbors in need throughout the Bismarck-Mandan community. Participating organizations are matched with volunteers who choose to donate their time and talents to address our community’s needs.
 
In 2019:
  • 1,342 community volunteers pitched in, investing 10,736 hours in our community
  • 74 local projects for individuals, non-profits, parks, and schools  were completed throughout Bismarck-Mandan and surrounding communities 
  • $337,625 in savings can be reinvested into life-changing community programs and organizations
  • More than 100 local businesses pitched in to support the event through sponsorships, in-kind donations, and providing employees a paid volunteer day

HOW CAN I HELP?

SUGGEST A PROJECT OR HAVE SPECIAL SKILLS 

Day of Caring is an incredible opportunity to tackle large and small projects. But not every project is a good fit. Please review the project guidelines and considerations before submitting a project proposal. Day of Caring projects are dependant upon the generosity of our community. We are always looking for skilled individuals, equipment, project materials and lunch for our volunteer.
