Day of Caring is a partnership between United Way, community agencies and employee groups wanting to provide a ‘hands-on’ day where employees complete various projects for charitable or non-profit organizations.

Why?
This is a win-win for both agencies and workplaces. Agencies benefit from projects that might not otherwise be completed - such as painting and grounds keeping. Employees from workplaces demonstrate the impact of volunteerism in our community, allowing them to see first-hand the services United Way invests in.

Who?
In 2009, the following workplaces have either completed Day of Caring projects, or have committed to a project.

Brock University: St. John Ambulance, Manchester Avenue Family Community and Stokes Community Village - After- School Program (middle picture).
