Day of Caring
Friday, September 1, 2023
The United Way Day of Caring is a yearly event that takes place each September. This annual one-day event is a great opportunity to build teamwork and strengthen the connection to our community. Through volunteers, businesses and United Way staff, we cover the county to work on projects submitted to our Volunteer Coordinator. Visit our Gallery for more!
Friday, September 1, 2023, 103 volunteers participated in projects across Kershaw County. "United Way of Kershaw County Day of Caring brought out the best in our community. Over 100 volunteers invested their time at 12 different sites throughout the county. From yard work to reading to children, and from installing tiny libraries to building ramps, much was accomplished." United Way of Kershaw County President, Donny Supplee
