What is Days of Caring?

Days of Caring is a community-wide demonstration of the power of volunteering. Hundreds of volunteers across Cumberland County pitch-in and “lend a helping hand” every year during the second week of May.
Volunteer opportunities include park and home renovations, Scouting Jamboree, food drive, building projects, and many more. Participants learn how United Way's Community Impact Partner Agencies deliver much-needed services to people in Cumberland County.

Why should my company participate?

VolunteMany companies throughout Cumberland County encourage volunteerism in their staff and administration. Volunteering for great causes is beneficial to everyone: the agencies receive help serving the people of Cumberland County, the recipients of the services obtain the much-needed help they're used to, the volunteers feel great about doing good for their community, and the volunteers' company is acknowledged by the community as generous and willing to help.

This is a great opportunity for United Way contributors to find out first-hand how their financial support makes a difference. Days of Caring projects are also excellent for leadership development, morale-building, and team building.

Volunteer Leadership

United Way of Cumberland County is a volunteer-driven organization, governed by a local board of directors made up of volunteers from Cumberland County. There's no way we could function without YOUR vision, focus, strategy and support. >>

Where your Money Goes

Your gift of $1 a week can provide 25 girl scouts with basic science experiment supplies -OR- you can buy two candy bars from a vending machine. >>

History

The concept of United Way originated in Denver, Colorado in 1887 when four clergymen and one public-spirited woman formed the first joint appeal for organized help in the United States. >>

Lives change when a community cares.

As part of this community, each and every one of us share the responsibility of improving the quality of life in our community. United Way of Cumberland County provides important funding that assists people who need a helping hand, and EVERY dollar collected counts. >>
