United We Can!
National Volunteer Month happens every April, and United Way of Lincoln County likes to take part in that spirit by hosting our annual Day of Caring. This year, we're taking that one step farther!
To celebrate 65 years in Lincoln County, United Way of Lincoln County is commemorating National Volunteer Month by organizing volunteer opportunities at each of our funded non-profits and community partners across the county! With more than 15 projects to choose from, volunteers can impact their community by helping pack tote bags for victims of domestic violence, prep the YMCA for summer camp, hand out blessing bags to individuals experiencing homelessness, and so much more! Almost all projects are less than four hours long and all assist a nonprofit or mission-driven agency. A variety of skillsets are needed, including gardening, painting, and writing.
Each of these projects are just glimpses into the heart of our community, recognizing the incredible impact that these agencies and programs make in Lincoln County. Not only will volunteers be able to make a personal contribution to our community, but they’ll get to learn more about the people who work every day to help our neighbors.
To wrap up our Month of Caring, United Way of Lincoln County will host a party bus tour around the county, highlighting the incredible work being done in our community! On the party bus, local leaders and community figures will get to learn about each of our funded partners, the programs United Way of Lincoln County supports, and more.
It’s United Way of Lincoln County’s 65 birthday, and we are ready for a month-long celebration of this amazing community. For those interested in joining in our celebration by participating in our micro projects, check out Lincoln County’s new volunteer hub below:
Check Out Day of Caring 2025
April 25, 2025
Day of Caring 2025 has come to a close! This year, we focused on four schools across the county: Catawba Springs Elementary, Norris S Childers Elementary, North Brook Elementary, and West Lincoln High. While the day started off rainy, it ended with sunshine and smiles because of the work our volunteers put in!
The United Way team wants to thank each and every one of our volunteers for the time, effort, and love they put into Day of Caring 2025! This event was a huge success, and we are always so impressed to see how much of an impact volunteering can make in our community! Additionally, this year's Day of Caring wouldn't have been possible without our Signature Sponsor, the T-Mobile Foundation Volun-T Fund, and our Advocate Sponsor, Huber. We are so grateful for their support! Additionally, we want to thank Pepsi and Lowes for their in-kind donation of supplies for the day!
It's clear from the commitment of our volunteers and the work they put in that Lincoln County is an incredibly blessed community!

Future Day of Caring Projects
We want to hear from our community! Please fill out the below request form to submit a local project in Lincoln County to be considered for our annual Day of Caring Project. Each project will be vetted and voted on by our local board members. Please remember to keep the projects reasonable, specifically costing at or below $5000 and able to be completed within a day.
Past Days of Caring have centered around specific community needs, such as stocking and organizing the West ARC or landscaping and painting the Sunrise Community building. No matter the project, each year, UWLC brings the community together for a full day of volunteering and caring about one another.
This day is always full of love, support, and appreciation for Lincoln County and our amazing residents!
