September 19 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
VOLUNTEER with us for our annual Day of Caring! Day of Caring is an opportunity for your business, civic group, family, or self to get involved and give back to the community!
Volunteer opportunities will be available for all ages with a wide variety of service projects that make a difference in Lee County.
Register today to help volunteer! Registration is open through September 11th, 2026 for the event. Free t-shirts will be provided to all volunteers that register on time!
All Lee County volunteers will meet at Dixon High School at 8:30am on Saturday, September 19th, 2026 for t-shirt pickup and a group photo before heading out to make a UNITED impact! Note: Team captains will receive more information regarding their assigned project prior to the event. We will match volunteer projects with volunteer groups the week before the event.
Have a project idea?
We would love to help with needed projects that benefit the community or those in need. We are looking for projects that can be done by individuals, families, or co-worker groups between 9am-12pm on our Day of Caring.
Here are a few examples:
- Landscaping needs? Have a painting project? Pick a couple of small projects that can be done by volunteers. Make sure you have enough tools for your crew.
- Notice a road with a lot of litter? Have a neighbor that struggles with yard work? Clean up can help beautify our community.
- Get creative! Think about things that need to be done, we can help!
To submit a project, e-mail arichter@uwleeco.org. Please remember, organizations need to provide all supplies for their project.
Interested in Volunteering?
Day of Caring would not be impactful without volunteers from businesses, groups, clubs, teams, families and individuals. You can sign up as an individual or as a Team. Teams are typically between 2-8 people.
