DAY OF CARING is your chance to make a lasting impact in our community. Be a part of this fun day of community service by volunteering to improve local schools and nonprofits in Williamson County.

When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. Whether it’s sorting donations of clothes or food, painting, landscaping or helping beautify our community, there are volunteer options for many interest areas and a variety of ages! It means giving time to help one another by providing helping hands to nonprofit agencies that need assistance.

Thank You Day of Caring Volunteers

Thank you to the 175 volunteers that participated in the Fall Day of Caring on September 23, 2011!
After a kickoff breakfast and T-shirt give-away sponsored by CEVA Logistics, a group photo at Dell Diamond was a great time to show what it means to LIVE UNITED. Volunteers then departed to 14 sites across Williamson County to lend a hand at nonprofit agencies, schools and public parks in Georgetown, Hutto, Leander, Round Rock and Taylor.
