Day of caring

Day of Caring is the largest one-day volunteer event in Southwest Missouri. Local businesses and organizations coordinate teams of employees to spend the day completing service projects at area nonprofit agencies.

In 2024, we celebrated 32 years of Day of Caring in the Ozarks!

Every year, this treasured event means thousands of human-hours are logged in a single day, resulting in weeks' worth of work benefitting local nonprofits. In 2024, the value of volunteer time contributed totaled $211,000.

Join us for United Way of the Ozarks Day of Caring 2025! UNITED, a little goes a long way.
