More than 1,000 local residents are needed to spend a day caring for the community Sept. 22-23 by signing up for one of dozens of volunteer projects happening at nonprofits, schools and community parks across the region during United Way’s 5th Annual Day of Caring. The event, sponsored by Nationwide, will begin with a kickoff breakfast and rally at Cal Expo.
As part of Day of Caring, United Way is holding its Stuff the Bus
campaign to collect school supplies for Robla School District in
Sacramento through Sept 22. All donated school supplies will
be placed in a school bus and driven to Robla School District at
the end of the day. To donate to Stuff the Bus: click

Day of Caring and Stuff the Bus are part of United Way California
Capital Region’s Square One Project, a 20-year promise to
significantly increase the number of local students who graduate
from high school ready for success in college and beyond. Through
nine decades of work and research across Amador, El Dorado,
Sacramento, Placer and Yolo counties, United Way believes ending
poverty starts in school and is working to ensure kids meet
important milestones for success in college or career.
