Day of Caring

Day of Caring brings the spirit of service to life through a dynamic, full-day experience designed for everyone.

Thank you for a successful Day of Caring!

Friday, September 11, 2026

We are so grateful that you joined us for Day of Caring this year! Your time, energy, and willingness to pitch in made a real difference across Story County.

Because of you and the hundreds of volunteers who participated, we provided 2,000 hours of service back to the community. These hours helped local nonprofits tackle projects that might otherwise have been difficult to complete, from sprucing up spaces and tackling needed maintenance to creating welcoming environments for the people they serve.

The impact didn’t stop at project sites. Volunteers spent the afternoon building kits that were distributed to local families and individuals who could use a little extra support. Every kit, project, and hour volunteered represents a neighbor helping a neighbor.
