The 20th Day of Caring will feature projects from nine Elgin area health and human services agencies and three elementary schools. A total of 130 volunteers are needed to complete these projects. Work will take place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

This year, the event will kick off with a morning rally at Larkin High School, with coffee and donuts along with some remarks from United Way of Elgin board members. Volunteers will then go to their assigned project locations.

After spending a few hours painting, planting, building, cleaning, and mulching, United Way of Elgin board members will deliver a boxed lunch to all volunteers.

For more information, visit www.uwelgin.org/2018DayofCaring. You can select either an indoor or outdoor project, and can sign up as an individual or with a team.

The Day of Caring is made possible thanks to sponsorships from Hoffer Foundation, DeJames Builders, Dr. William Holevas, My Advisor and Planner, LLC, Stoll Real Estate, and TBK Bank.
