Day of Caring

Day of Caring

Thank you to everyone who took part in the 2022 Day of Caring – over 400 volunteers (a record number!) from 34 workplaces across KFL&A completed 38 projects at local non-profit agencies and community projects!

For the past 20+ years, United Way volunteer teams have shown their local love and helped agencies with gardening, renovations, and more at the annual Day of Caring. In 2023, the United Way Day of Caring will continue this tradition once again with in-person projects to help agencies throughout the community! 

Day of Caring will take place on Friday, June 9th, 2023

Day of Caring brings together volunteers from local organizations and local agencies, to provide much needed assistance through projects that often include repair work, gardening, painting, and cleaning. This fun event generates a team building experience and community engagement for all involved. This one-day community-wide blitz of painting, landscaping, and light maintenance for local an under-resourced agencies will conclude with a celebration following the Day of Caring projects.

Any questions or inquiries about how you can show your local love and participate can be directed to the United Way KFL&A at campaign@unitedwaykfla.ca or 613-542-2674 ext. 1205

United Way of KFL&A would like to acknowledge this traditional territory’s longer existence and its significance for the Indigenous people who lived and continue to live on Turtle Island.

We are situated on traditional Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat land. There are Métis and other non-status First People from many Indigenous Nations present in our community today. This acknowledgement symbolizes the United Way KFL&A’s first step, of many, along this path toward Indigenous reconciliation, in a respectful manner.
