Be part of the largest day of volunteerism in our community! Day of Caring brings together individuals, businesses, and organizations for one powerful day of hands-on projects that support local nonprofits and community programs.
We're calling on volunteers ready to lend their time and talents—and project hosts with meaningful work that needs doing. From yard work and painting to organizing donations or clearing trails, there’s a place for everyone to make a difference.
Join us on Thursday, September 11, 2025, as we unite to create positive change across Cowlitz and Wahkiakum Counties. When we come together, United is the Way.

Do you have a project that could use a team of enthusiastic volunteers? Whether it's yardwork, painting, organizing, repairs, or something entirely unique—we want to hear from you!
Don’t be shy—dream big!
Let us know how many volunteers you really need and what your ideal project would involve. Whether you need 5 or 50, we’ll do our best to match you with a team that fits. The more details you provide, the better we can help make it happen!
This year, our volunteer sign-up form includes space for teams to tell us if they have special skills, tools, or equipment—so if your project requires something specific, be sure to include it in your proposal.
Together, we can bring your project to life and show that United is the Way—and Together we Thrive.
Project hosts are responsible for providing lunch, water and needed supplies to volunteers.
The deadline to submit projects is August 1, 2025.
United Way will contact you before September 11, 2025, with the assigned team's details and contact information.
If you have more than one project, please submit on a separate project proposal form.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions at 360-423-5320 or aheinlen@cowlitzunitedway.org
