Day of Caring
Day of Caring 2025
United Way of Salt Lake is excited to host our 32nd annual Day of Caring—the largest corporate volunteerism event for United Ways nationwide. As one of our signature Year of Action events, this year’s Day of Caring falls on Thursday, September 11, and service projects are occurring into early fall.
United Way of Salt Lake is coordinating hundreds of volunteers who dedicate their time and resources to complete service projects at local nonprofits and schools across the Wasatch Front. Service projects range from completing landscaping work to beautify and maintain campuses, leading celebrations or learning activities with community members, or sorting donations and packing kits for students. Thank you for rolling up your sleeves and helping us make a lasting difference in our community.
2025 Projects are Now Closed!
We appreciate the overwhelming response from volunteers across the Wasatch Front. Although we have limited capacity for Day of Caring projects this year, there are many other ways to get involved with our work. If you are interested in finding volunteer opportunities for you and your company or community group, please reach out to our volunteer team.

“For us, Day of Caring is about coming together as a team to give back in a hands-on way. It’s a chance to step away from the office, roll up our sleeves, and make a real difference side by side. We walk away feeling more connected to each other and to the community. At its core, Gardner Group believes in building community, and Day of Caring is a great way for us to live that out.”
-Brady Southwick, President, Gardner Group
“For us, it’s about showing up for the communities in which we serve. Helping causes like this gives our team the chance to step away from the day-to-day, connect with our neighbors, and feel part of something bigger. It isn’t just a one-off activity for us, it’s ingrained in our company culture. It’s who we are as a team and a reflection of the values we bring to our work every day.”
-Bayleigh Stelling, Marketing Manager, Groundworks
“One of the Founding Values of our parent company, Enterprise Mobility, is to strengthen our communities one neighborhood at a time. The Day of Caring service projects provide us an opportunity to allow our employees to do just that.”
-Matt Berblinger, Director, Enterprise Fleet Management
