Wednesday, Aug. 5, marks the date for Livingston County United Way’s 24th Annual Day of Caring. The Day of Caring is a one-day community impact event that brings together volunteers to assist those needing help in our community. In 2025, 79 projects took place and involved over 850 volunteers.

Every year Livingston County United Way accepts worksite proposals from local residents, seniors, schools, churches, disabled residents and non-profit agencies. The work requests are often minor household repairs/projects, cleaning and yard work that the homeowner cannot do on their own. Anyone can recommend a worksite and is encouraged to apply for a neighbor or friend who needs extra help. Registration deadline for worksites is Monday, June 15th.

Volunteers are invited to register individually or as a group. Companies, clubs and organizations are invited and encouraged to participate together. What better way to showcase a company’s volunteer spirit while making a difference. Bolster employee morale through team building and connecting individuals to their community. Volunteers can choose to work a morning or afternoon shift, or all day. Registration deadline for volunteers is Tuesday, June 30.

“The impact made on Livingston County by Day of Caring volunteers is priceless,” stated Carrie Newstead, Executive Director of Livingston County United Way. “This day proves that when the community unites, we can make a tremendous impact together.”

” Additionally, our wonderful friends at Citizens/Hanover Insurance are hosting a picnic luncheon for all Day of Caring volunteers at their Howell headquarters,” continued Newstead. “This gives volunteers an opportunity to relax, connect with one another, and celebrate community spirit together.”
