Day of Caring is the day that United Way of San Juan County and its supported programs get together with community volunteers for a half-day work party in the community.

The Day of Caring promotes the spirit and value of volunteerism, increases the awareness of local human service agencies and schools, and demonstrates all that people working together for the community’s good can accomplish.

Day of Caring on Orcas Island: Saturday, Sept. 24 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., apple picking at Orcas Montessori. Call Deborah at United Way San Juan County at 378-4121.
