United Way Northwest Indiana’s Day of Caring is happening Friday, September 18, 2026, as hundreds of neighbors come together to give back across northwest Indiana, and volunteers are encouraged to visit the website and sign up to help. With more than 150 volunteer projects throughout the region planned during the annual event, there are opportunities for individuals, businesses, organizations, and teams to get involved. Projects include landscaping, painting, cleanup, and other hands-on activities supporting local nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. “Day of Caring is a great reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together,” said Chris White, President and CEO of United Way Northwest Indiana. “We’re grateful to every volunteer, business, organization, and sponsor helping make this day possible for our neighbors.” Visit www.unitedwaynwi.org/doc to learn more and get involved.
