Five ways to get involved with United Way of Lebanon County’s Day of Caring

The United Way of Lebanon County is gearing up for its annual Day of Caring, a hallmark volunteer event that draws hundreds of residents together for a day of community service. Scheduled for Saturday, April 20th, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the event symbolizes a united effort to enhance the local environment and assist in various community projects.

With over 40 projects lined up, the Day of Caring offers a plethora of opportunities for volunteers to engage in meaningful work across Lebanon County. From beautifying parks to participating in cleanup efforts, the initiative seeks to foster a spirit of unity and improvement throughout the area.

Individuals, families, groups, and corporate teams are encouraged to participate, bringing together the community in a collaborative effort to make a tangible impact. The United Way’s Volunteer Portal on their website serves as the gateway for interested participants to register and get involved.
