34TH ANNIVERSARY
Day of Caring
In 1992, about 250 volunteers gathered to help spruce up what was then the YWCA campus on North Wells Street. That event has now grown into an opportunity for thousands of volunteers to come together to make Allen County a better place to live and work.

What is Day of Caring?
In 2024, more than 1,500 volunteers safely took part in 72 community service projects across Allen County. These Day of Caring projects involved tasks such as cleaning, landscaping, painting, and general maintenance. Each project took between four and eight hours to complete, with team sizes ranging from five to 100 volunteers.
The work benefited nonprofit organizations, schools, private residences recommended by NeighborLink, local trails, and other community spaces in need.

“Most of our team had never participated in Day of Caring, so they weren't sure what to expect. Several of them came up to me at the end of the day and told me what a great day it was for them. This is after working all day pulling weeds and hauling mulch. Several of them were excited to learn about landscaping techniques and how to use tools.”
