Mark your calendars now to join us on June 18, 2026 for our 34th Annual Day of Caring!

Day of Caring is a Southwest Missouri tradition, connecting nonprofits and volunteers for a day of high-impact fun across the Ozarks. Every year, this treasured event means thousands of volunteer hours are logged in a single day, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of work benefitting local nonprofits.

Whether you participate as a volunteer, sponsor, or nonprofit project host, Day of Caring is a fun and direct way to create positive change in the Ozarks.

Are you a nonprofit interested in hosting a project? Submissions are open now through April 24. We are utilizing a new platform called GivePulse this year so please take some time to watch the training webinar linked below before submitting your project via the second link:
