Registration opens today for United Way Day of Caring volunteers

Note: The Day of Caring is May 15th. An earlier version of this story was incorrect.

Signups will begin today if you would like to volunteer for the United Way of Bartholomew County’s upcoming Day of Caring.

According to the agency, the annual Day of Caring is a full-day volunteer event that connects local businesses and community members with non-profit agencies and organizations. More than 625 volunteers are needed to help organizations that make a positive difference in Bartholomew County. By completing physical and administrative tasks, volunteers free up agency staff to focus on their core missions—such as providing food, shelter, health care, education, and other essential services to members of the community.

In addition to service projects, this year’s event will feature an on-site blood drive.

Volunteers of all ages and skill levels can take part. Organizers encourage groups such as families, teams, and workplace partners to sign up together, as well as individual volunteers.

The Day of Caring is being held on May 15th. Volunteer registration is expected to begin at noon today.
