900 Volunteers. 48 Nonprofits. 1 Amazing Day.  
Taking one day to build a stronger Lehigh Valley. Together. 

Thank you for joining us on June 20, 2019 for the largest, single-day volunteer effort in our community!  More than 900 employees from 50 businesses and organizations performed 60 community service projects at 48 nonprofits during United Way’s 27^th Annual Day of Caring, presented by Crayola.
  

Each June, communities around the world come together to harness the volunteer spirit and improve the conditions in which they live. UWGLV joined local United Ways across the nation in creating similar day-of-action experiences that engage thousands of volunteers in community service projects throughout the country.
 

 
In the Greater Lehigh Valley, participants contributed $130,000 in volunteer hours to more than thirty nonprofits in Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties. Some Day of Caring projects included:
 

• Sprucing up Paxinosa Elementary School in Easton with Crayola
• Spending quality time with seniors at the YWCA of Bethlehem with PPL 
• Painting and packing food boxes for seniors at Second Harvest of the Lehigh Valley with Just Born Quality Confections and C.F. Martin & Company
• Organizing and cleaning at Turning Point of the Lehigh Valley with Air Products
• And packing lunches for volunteers with Victaulic

Day of Caring’s presenting sponsor is Crayola with additional support from Bronze Sponsors Amazon Fulfillment and lehighvalleylive.com + The Express-Times and Lunch Sponsor Wegmans Food Markets. In-kind sponsors include Uline, ASR Media Productions, Herr’s and Just Born Quality Confections.
 
United Way's 27th annual Day of Caring brings together energetic volunteers to complete 60 community service projects throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley.  More than 900 individuals contribute approximately $108,000 of volunteer hours in a single day. Over 45 companies generously allow their employees time off to volunteer painting, spending time with seniors, delivering meals and much more.
