HandsOn and United Way have put their heads together to develop a slightly different approach to Days of Caring. Traditionally Days of Caring was a week long event that mobilized hundreds of volunteers from Work Place Campaigns to serve your organizations needs. As times and needs have changed we discovered it was a burden to ask all of you to host so many volunteers within such a limited time frame. Therefore we are now offering Days of Caring opportunities to Work Place Campaigns year round.
Employee Volunteer Groups will now have the opportunity select the National Day of Service of their choice to volunteer together. We request that you look at the needs in your organization and try to plan service projects around each of the 9 national days of service we promote. A list of each day of service is available at the Partner Resources Page. Also please keep us informed of needs that occur at all times of the year. If a Work Place Campaign is unable to volunteer during a day of service, we might contact you to request a project.
Remember the easiest and most efficient way to tell us and volunteers your needs is to post them on HandsOn Connect! Please do not hesitate to call or email Melissa Gibler with HandsOn if you have any questions or concerns.
