Mark your calendars now to join us on June 18, 2026 for our 34th Annual Day of Caring!

Day of Caring is a Southwest Missouri tradition, connecting nonprofits and volunteers for a day of high-impact fun across the Ozarks. Every year, this treasured event means thousands of volunteer hours are logged in a single day, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of work benefitting local nonprofits.

In 2025, a record number of volunteers participated! More than 1,400 people contributed time worth over $220,000 while helping 52 nonprofit organizations! Check out the video below to see some of the work done in our community.

Whether you participate as a volunteer, sponsor, or nonprofit project host, Day of Caring is a fun and direct way to create positive change in the Ozarks.

Want to sponsor the event or form a team to pitch in? Are you a nonprofit interested in hosting a project? Nonprofit project submission opens on March 30 and community volunteer signups will open April 29.
