Assemble Hope: Day of Caring Kicks Off | Madison News

Get ready to make a real difference—United Way of Dane County’s annual Day of Caring is back, indoors at the Madison Marriott West on August 20th, with hundreds of volunteers assembling thousands of essential care kits for local families. This year’s focus? Four thousand paper product packs, three thousand menstrual hygiene kits, and two thousand healthy snack bundles—all designed to meet community needs. Plus, volunteers will craft uplifting notes for seniors, aiming to deliver one thousand heartfelt messages to brighten their day. These ImPacks will head straight to trusted partners like Second Harvest Foodbank and Porchlight. The event also launches United Way’s 2026 Community Campaign—with 100% of undesignated donations going directly to local programs thanks to a generous gift from the Dan and Patti Rashke Family Foundation. And yes, volunteers get free T-shirts and snacks for their good work. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
