The focus of Days of Caring will continue to be on projects that make a positive impact on the community, such as clean ups, beautification projects and nonprofit service. In addition to in-person projects, virtual projects such as kits, collection drives, trainings, and more can be submitted. The United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona team overseeing the event will continue following CDC and local public health guidelines for in-person projects and this will be communicated to project organizers and volunteers as the weekend approaches.
Days of Caring is supported by local sponsors and sponsorship opportunities are still available through Aug. 22. Sponsors receive early access to project selection. For more information on sponsorship please click here.
