Last year, 900 volunteers participated in the Day of Caring event and logged over 3,600 volunteer hours with a value of $103,428 for our community.  This year, the United Way of Broome County hopes to make Day of Caring even bigger by extending it to a "Week of Caring."

The United Way of Broome County is now accepting registration for projects from local health and human services agencies, schools, parks, and attractions throughout Broome County for Volunteer Week from September 6th through September 12th.

Any type of volunteering is encouraged from reading with children, to helping the elderly to gardening and beautification projects.

If your organization is interested in helping to better our community, please get more information and fill out an online application here. Recruitment for volunteers will begin in June.
