Days of Caring
Days of Caring is a fun, meaningful way for your business or organization to strengthen teamwork while actively improving the community. Over three days each year in September, hundreds of volunteers perform service projects for dozens of non-profit agencies across Lane County. It’s a great way to connect, get out in the community, and lend a hand to local non-profits.
