Join us for our biggest day of volunteering! Day of Caring (formerly Community Kickoff) marks the start of Community Campaign season with family-friendly volunteer opportunities.

Learn about challenges in our community and create ImPacks and fill backpacks for local students and families. Bring your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors to be a part of the change. Together, we are The Power of Caring. Working for All.

Food Pantry Donation Drive

Bring non-perishable food to donate! These items will benefit individuals who are supported by local food pantries and nonprofits. When Dane County families have access to affordable, nutritious food, our whole community is healthier and stronger. Food security means improved health, more stability and sets the stage for future well-being. Most Needed Items: Breakfast Cereal, Oatmeal, Rice, Pasta & Pasta Sauce, Macaroni & Cheese, Canned Soup, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Canned Chicken, Canned Tuna

Volunteer Opportunities

We’ll create Paper Product ImPacks, Menstrual Hygiene ImPacks, Healthy Snack ImPacks and fill backpacks with school supplies 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.
