Day of Caring

United We Can!

Each year, communities around the world come together to harness the spirit of volunteerism and improve the conditions in which they live.

United Way Day of Caring is an invitation for people and organizations to LIVE UNITED and take action to address a variety of different needs. It is a day that we ask you to help us put our mission into action by volunteering to improve the building blocks for a good quality of life through projects both big & small! 

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!
