This event is an incredible collaboration between volunteers and community organizations,” said Ashley Richter, United Way of Lee County’s Executive Director. “What’s really special about this event is the volunteers that work so hard to make positive, long-lasting community change. It’s wonderful.”

Day of Caring helps people across Lee County join together to help non-profit organizations that do so much for our neighbors.
