Day of Caring 2025
Wednesday, May 7, 2025 (8:00AM to 12:00PM)!
New Kick-Off Location: Orrville Christian Church, 925 N. Elm Street
Join us for a morning of volunteerism and community impact!
Day of Caring is a partnership between Orrville Area United Way and the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce, bringing together businesses, students, and community members for a morning of meaningful volunteer work.
From landscaping and painting to prepping materials or organizing spaces, volunteers will tackle nearly 70 community-based projects, helping our neighborhoods thrive.
We’re especially excited to welcome Orrville High School seniors this year as they serve alongside 400+ community volunteers to make a big difference across Dalton, Marshallville, and Orrville!
