Day of Caring - United Way of Greater Knoxville

Day of Caring 2026

Day of Caring unites businesses, nonprofits, and volunteers across our region for a day of hands-on impact. Together, teams support local organizations, improve community spaces, and address needs while strengthening the foundation our neighbors depend on every day.

What happens in just a few hours creates a lasting impact. Each project supports organizations like YWCA, Muse Knoxville, Girl Talk, and Camp Koinonia, who continue their work long after the day is done. These moments of service strengthen connections, support families, and help build a community where everyone can thrive.

This is Your Community.

At UWGK, we’re here to connect you with opportunities to volunteer, to lead, to help your neighbors in need.

Corporate volunteer opportunities make great team-building exercises, and we offer both in-office and out-of-office ways to serve and make an impact.
