Week of Caring

For over 30 years, United Way of Lancaster County has brought hundreds of volunteers together to participate in service projects that benefit the wider community in the Day of Caring. This year we are expanding into a Week of Caring to provide more opportunity for individuals, families, and teams of volunteers from local companies and organizations to participate by rolling up their sleeves and completing projects that benefit non-profit organizations. This year’s Week of Caring will be Monday, September 11 through Saturday, September 16, 2023.

Non-Profit Organizations

Please complete the 2023 Non-Profit Volunteer Opportunity Survey .We’ll promote your project(s) to our networks of businesses and individuals looking to serve.
