2026 Day of Caring

Day of Caring, hosted by Business Volunteer Network, marks the start of our Community Campaign season with family-friendly volunteer opportunities – now taking place indoors!

Learn about challenges in our community and create ImPacks for local families. Bring your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors to be a part of the change.

Interested in helping expand our impact? Sponsor ImPacks supplies – essential items requested by our nonprofit partners. Click here to learn more.

Together, we are The Power of Caring. Working for All.

Volunteer Time Off (VTO) is a paid benefit that lets employees take time during the work week to support causes and organizations they care about. If your business provides VTO as benefit, consider using it to join us for Day of Caring, and encourage your colleagues to do the same!

Free parking is available in the Madison Marriott West parking lot. Please enter via the Conference Center entrance.

We are committed to hosting inclusive, accessible events and welcome all individuals, including people with disabilities, to fully participate. If you have an accommodation request (such as a seated volunteer opportunity, mobility or sensory considerations, a quiet volunteer space, etc.) or questions about accessibility, please contact Jenny Bravener, Community Engagement and Marketing Program Manager, at [email protected] or 608-246-4367.

To help us plan, we encourage requests by 7/20 so we have time to consider how best to support your experience. While we will do our best to meet individual needs, we may not be able to fulfill every request. If that’s the case, we’ll follow up to explore possible alternatives.

Info: Pick up your free United Way Volunteer t-shirt, enjoy snacks and learn how you can get involved.

Info: We’ll create Paper Product ImPacks, Menstrual Hygiene ImPacks and Healthy Snack ImPacks to distribute to our community through our nonprofit partners. Many of these items are rarely donated and always needed. Food and nutrition assistance programs do not cover these essentials, so families may have to choose between paying for rent or buying necessities. Additionally, we’ll write Notes of Encouragement to include with ImPacks. Kids are welcome to join all volunteer opportunities!

Info: Join LINC for Young Professionals after volunteering at The Greatroom Bar in the Marriott to network and learn more! Separate registration online at https://lincsocialhour2026.eventbrite.com.
