United Way Winnipeg Day of Caring

The United Way Winnipeg Day of Caring program provides an opportunity for workplaces to volunteer and help a United Way Winnipeg agency partner or non-profit organization complete a project that contributes to local community development, renewal, and pride. Projects may include organizing donations, painting, hosting an event, or cleaning up a community space.

This is a unique year-round opportunity for co-workers and other groups to make a difference in Winnipeggers’ lives by working together on meaningful volunteer projects with local community organizations that focus on:

• Helping kids be all they can be
• Moving people from poverty to possibility
• Encouraging healthy people and strong communities

United Way Winnipeg will match your volunteer group with a non-profit organization, and together you complete a project that complements your priorities, skills, schedule and available people power. Most projects require between five and 20 volunteers, take an average of four weeks to plan, and take about one-half to one full day to complete.

Past projects have included:

• Helping host a special event like a community barbeque or holiday party
• Working alongside community residents to help beautify a neighbourhood by planting flowers, building a community garden, or participating in a community cleanup
• Collecting donations of much-needed items, including gently used clothing or household goods, hygiene products, or new socks and underwear
• If you have an idea for a project, we’ll be happy to explore the need and opportunities

A Day of Caring is an opportunity to accomplish tasks beyond what our budget and resources may allow.
