What is Community Care Day?
Since 1997, United Way has been bringing neighbors together to improve lives on “Community
Care Day.” This volunteer event symbolizes the true spirit of Union County as participants help elderly residents
do spring cleaning projects around the house, landscape area parks, conduct food drives, and more.
Last year, 430 volunteers from 78 area workplaces and organizations completed 195 social service projects on a
single day. They painted, washed windows, weeded gardens, conducted pantry drives, landscaped parks, and more.
But more importantly, they put smiles on the faces of their neighbors and good feelings in their hearts.

It really touches you to see so many people in the community band
together with such excitement for a worthy cause. Spending time with friends, and truly giving back to the
place I call home. It was a terrific day.
