SUMMARY:United Way NSV Day of Caring
DESCRIPTION:Day of Caring is a powerful\, one-day volunteer event that brings together over 900 community members to complete hands-on projects that directly benefit local nonprofits across the Northern Shenandoah Valley.\n\nEvery year\, United Way's Day of Caring brings our community together in powerful ways. More than 900 volunteers step out of their daily routines to roll up their sleeves painting\, repairing\, planting\, cleaning\, and organizing to help local nonprofits take care of the projects that too often get pushed to the side.\n\nThis isn't just about fixing buildings or pulling weeds. It's about making sure nonprofits can stay focused on what matters most: serving children\, families\, and neighbors in need. When volunteers give their time\, they save nonprofits thousands of dollars\, stretch limited budgets further\, and create space for them to deliver programs that change lives.\n\nEvent Day Details\n\nKickoff: Friday\, September 18\, 2026   8:30 9:30 AM (ET) - Shenandoah University Wilkins Center\n\nWe'll gather as a community to celebrate the spirit of service and set the tone for a powerful day of impact. Then you will head off to your jobsite!\n\nAfter Party 12:00-5:00 PM (ET) - West Oaks Farm Market\n\nOnce the work is done\, it's time to celebrate! Volunteers\, neighbors\, and friends are all invited to unwind together.\n\n \n\nAlso Check Out Info About: Community Baby Shower \n\n \n\nFor Nonprofits\n\nIf your organization has a project that could use volunteer support\, we want to hear from you!\n\nPlease fill out the Project Site Registration form so we can include your project in this year's Day of Caring.\n\nContact: dayofcaring@unitedwaynsv.org\n\n\nWhy It Matters\n\nAcross our region\, nonprofits are on the front lines of meeting urgent needs but too often\, stretched budgets mean basic upkeep and repairs take a back seat. Day of Caring changes that. By bringing people power to projects\, we strengthen the infrastructure of our nonprofits\, free up precious resources\, and build lasting connections across the community.\n\nDay of Caring is more than a one-day event. It's proof of what happens when we come together to lift up our neighbors and each other.\n\nSponsorship Details \n\n2026 Sponsorship Packet
