Days of Service
At United Way Hands On, we believe in the transformative power of community and volunteerism. Our Days of Service bring individuals, families and groups together to make a meaningful impact through hands-on projects that strengthen our community and support those in need.
Throughout the year, our Days of Service feature a variety of volunteer opportunities, including park revitalizations, neighborhood clean-ups, engaging with seniors, assembling back-to-school supplies, building community gardens and green spaces, painting projects and more. Join us in making a difference!
