Day of Caring 2025: What a Morning!
On May 7, over 430 volunteers—including 70 Orrville High School seniors—joined together to complete 73 service projects across 32 organizations in our community. From landscaping and painting to organizing supplies and even helping build a playground, every project was a reflection of the generosity and caring spirit of our community.
We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make this day possible—volunteer teams, project hosts, breakfast providers, sponsors, and the many individuals who brought heart and hard work to every corner of our community.
