United Way Day of Caring
Sign up for the community’s largest, single-day volunteer effort.
Day of Caring
Together, an unprecedented 1,500 volunteers completed 8,000 hours of service during the 31st United Way Day of Caring. Presented by Crayola and coordinated by Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valley, Day of Caring is the area’s largest single-day volunteer effort.
The volunteers were joined by 800 Moravian University students as part of their Heritage Day — a celebration of Moravian tradition, community and service.
“Watching so many companies join forces to support local nonprofits is truly inspiring. It’s a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we come together as a community.“
