Week of Caring

Small Acts Create a Big Impact

Come Together. Give Back.

Week of Caring is a time for our community to come together and give back. Companies, volunteers, schools, and nonprofit partners work side by side on projects that support children and families across our region. From hands-on service to meeting immediate needs, each project is an opportunity to strengthen places where our community learns, grows, and comes together.

Across our community, companies are bringing teams together to serve, support local organizations, and give back where help is needed most.

GOLD SPONSORS

Become a Week of Caring Supply Sponsor

Supply sponsorships give companies a hands-on way to support students while bringing employees together through team building exercises. SMILE Kits provide dental hygiene supplies for children, while the Student Enrichment supply drive combines a traditional drive with a team-building activity twist. Community teams will work together to assemble structures using supplies they collected as a competition and final supplies will be donated to youth serving partners.

What Impact Can We Make Together?

When companies volunteer together, the impact reaches far beyond one project.

Across our community, companies are bringing teams together to serve, support local organizations, and give back where help is needed most. 

This is Your Community.
There is a Place for You Here.

Giving back is one way we show up for the people and places that make our community home.
