At United Way of Dane County, we mobilize the caring power of our community so all can thrive. On August 19, we launched our annual United Way Community Campaign with Day of Caring – a powerful day of volunteerism dedicated to supporting our neighbors in need. When families have access to essential supplies, our community becomes healthier and stronger.
This year’s Day of Caring, led by Kim Sponem, President/CEO of Summit Credit Union and United Way’s Campaign Chair, united more than 800 volunteers to complete meaningful projects that directly support local nonprofit partners across Dane County.
800+ Volunteers created more than 9,000 ImPacks • 1,200 volunteer hours contributed • $67,398 in economic impact
ImPacks are essential care kits that directly support our nonprofit partners with the most-requested essentials in our community.
4,000 Paper Product Impacks
3,000 Menstrual Hygiene IMPacks
2,000 Healthy Snack ImPacks
250 BackPacks Filled with school supples
1,000 Handwritten Notes of Encouragement

“Day of Caring reflects who we are as a community — generous and committed to helping each other succeed.”
