For the last 21 years, the third Wednesday in September has been an opportunity for non-profits in Kanawha, Putnam, Boone, Logan, Clay and Braxton counties to catch up on needed repairs and tasks.
More than 1,200 volunteers turned out Wednesday for United Way of Central West Virginia’s annual Day of Caring.
Organization President Margaret O’Neal spent the day helping to update pet facilities at a local domestic violence shelter -- one of nearly 70 projects across the region.
“It’s everything literally from soup to nuts,” O’Neal said. “It’s outside work, like at our office, our project was a lot of the shrub trimming and getting things ready for fall and winter. We’ve been at Capital Market where they’re doing all their fall pumpkins and decorating. We have some trail work going on. We have a bathroom being repaired.”
Nonprofits typically don’t have the time, staff, or energy and save up projects that they know the volunteers can do on this day, she said.
“It saves them time and it saves them money and it gives the volunteers a real vested interest in our nonprofit community,” O’Neal said.
The next Day of Caring for Central West Virginia is set for Sept. 15, 2027.
