Join us as we re-imagine the largest day of caring and volunteering in the UP during the time of social distancing. While the COVID-19 pandemic means we cannot mobilize large, in-person volunteer groups as we would like, we recognize the community’s need for connection and support in these times. We are excited to introduce Days of Caring: 5 days, 5 ways to volunteer, give back and work toward a stronger more United community.
