Day of Caring

A bright, light blue promotional graphic featuring the United Way of Tompkins County logo at the bottom right. At the top is a well-lit image of three women of color who appear to be working together to sort donations into boxes. A decorative, arching light blue line appears at the bottom of the photo followed by a darker blue area that echoes the arched shape. In this area, large white text that reads, "Day of Caring, Save the date, Saturday, September 12, 2026." At the bottom left of the image is the event location, which reads, YMCA of Ithaca & Tompkins County, 50 Graham Rd West, Ithaca, NY 14850.Save the Date for Day of Caring! Join us Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the YMCA of Ithaca & Tompkins County, 50 Graham Rd W, Ithaca, NY 14850.

United Way’s Day of Caring brings our community together to support those in need. This year, we’re collecting and organizing personal care donations. We hope you’ll also join us for a day of fun with a community carnival and a basket raffle!

Last year, we collected over a ton of food and distributed it to eight local food pantries. Over 150 children and their families attended the community carnival, and we raised $4,208 in a cornhole tournament!
