United Way Announces 2025 Day of Caring Event in Lee & Ogle Counties!
Hundreds of Volunteers Expected to Unite for Community Service Projects on September 13th
United Way of Lee County and United Way of Ogle County are thrilled to announce the return of
Day of Caring on Saturday, September 13th, from 9am to 12pm. This annual half-day volunteer
extravaganza will bring together friends, families, coworkers and neighbors to complete more
than 20 service projects across Lee & Ogle County.
From paint projects and cleaning parks to assisting local nonprofits, volunteers will see firsthand
the tangible improvements their efforts bring to neighborhoods, public spaces, and community
organizations.
“Day of Caring is a great way to get involved in the community and lend a hand to complete
local service projects! It is a great example of the collective power that we have when we unite
as a community,” said Ashley Richter, Executive Director of United Way of Lee & Ogle County.
Last year, 125 volunteers completed 20 service projects, and United Way is aiming to make this
year’s event even bigger and more impactful. With the support of local businesses and
community members, Day of Caring showcases what is possible when people come together
with a shared purpose.
