Get Involved
Volunteerism is one of the ways United Way brings people together to solve local challenges and build a stronger community. When you volunteer with us, you’ll be sharing your time and talents with those who need it most.
Annual Days of Action
Through our annual Days of Action projects, we offer a variety of opportunities to work United Way community partners. Annual projects include MLK Call to Service, Live United Day, Charlotte Playground Build, Union County Day of Caring and Hispanic Heritage Month Learning Series. Visit our Annual Days of Action page to learn more about each project.
Pack and Learn Care Projects
Cultivate team spirit while giving back to help your neighbors meet some of their basic needs by organizing a Care Project. Volunteers will assemble kits of essential supplies requested by United Way agency partners. Options range from pencil pouches to STEM kits to wellness kits. Projects can be facilitated in person at your company or complete virtually at home. Learn more about the different kit offerings.
