Day of Caring
United Way of Allen County’s most significant volunteer event is known as Day of Caring. Traditionally, well over 1,300 participants join forces for one day to help local agencies with a wide-range of service projects.
Food Drive
United Way of Allen County organizes an annual Food Drive in February that serves local food bank organizations by collecting non-perishable food items. You can place a food collection bin in your office for one week and then the items will be delivered to a local food bank.
Kit Builds
Kit builds are an opportunity for corporate partners to engage their employees in a team-building activity which benefits individuals in our community. With your company’s support, United Way will coordinate with you to select a kit type, create a budget, purchase items, and set up the event where your team will package the kits. United Way will ensure the completed kits go out branded with your company logo and delivers the kits to selected non-profits within Allen County. A kit building event requires a minimum of four weeks to plan.
Agency Volunteer Events
Local agencies would love your help. If your team can plant flowers, paint walls, swing hammers, or provide a variety of any other skills, then United Way can provide logistics and coordination with the agency.
