Day of Caring was established 30 years ago as the single largest day of volunteerism in Thurston County to increase awareness of human service organizations and demonstrate how people working together for the common good helps accomplish great things.
“United Way of Thurston County fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our community. And we take that fight to many fronts. Day of Caring is just one of those, and it provides an opportunity for hundreds of supporters from our workplace campaigns, individual and corporate donors, and the community to join with us and enhance their philanthropy through volunteerism. We’ll tackle numerous projects for nonprofits throughout the community, and bring the muscle to get them done,” said Chris Wells, Executive Director of United Way of Thurston County.
Seasoned Day of Caring volunteer teams like Anchor Bank, Olympia Federal Savings and Puget Sound Energy will participate in projects for Pizza Klatch, South Sound Reading Foundation, and Thurston County Food Bank and more.
Volunteers will participate in 8 different projects ranging from building and parking lot power washing, cleaning and labeling childrens books, rearanging office space, and erecting fences and doing light carpentary work throughout Thurston County.
