Day of Caring is United Way Forsyth & Dawson Counties' single largest volunteer day, bringing the community together to give back year after year. It’s more than just a day of service—it’s a powerful example of what we can achieve when we work together to support our neighbors in need.

What We Do: This year, we're once again focusing on addressing food insecurity in Forsyth & Dawson Counties—ensuring that families have the nourishment and resources they need to thrive. As a volunteer, you'll work shoulder to shoulder with others who share your commitment to our community, packing meals and essential kits that make a direct, local impact.

How You Can Help in 2026: Volunteer & Sponsor – Double Your Impact Join us for a hands-on volunteer experience that gives back in more ways than one. By sponsoring a volunteer spot, you’re not only rolling up your sleeves to pack meal kits and essential supplies for local families—you’re also funding the food, materials, and logistics that make Day of Caring possible.

Every participant helps cover the cost of supplies, and every hour spent volunteering helps move our mission forward. Sponsorship also includes recognition in event promotions and the chance to show your business or organization stands for community.

Together, We Care! 1 in 7 families in Forsyth and Dawson County faces food insecurity. On Day of Caring, we stand united to change that.
