Join us for Family Day of Caring, monthly volunteer projects designed with families in mind! Volunteering together as a family opens the lines of communication, teaches positive values to your children and provides quality family time. At the same time, it allows your family to make significant contributions to your community.

Bergen County's United Way, the Volunteer Center of Bergen County and The Parent Paper want you and your family to spend time together volunteering, so each month we're organizing a different family-friendly volunteer project. Families are encouraged to participate early and often - and to bring friends and neighbors too! All volunteers will receive breakfast, lunch, a FREE T-shirt and a different volunteer pin for every project in which they participate.

You MUST pre-register in order to participate. Upcoming projects are listed below - when you see one that you'd like to get involved with, download the project description for complete details and then click on REGISTER NOW to sign up. 

We look forward to seeing you!
