After a big showing for the 2018 Days of Caring involving the Catherwood Home, United Way of Mower County has reached out to local partners for impactful projects that will make up the 2019 Day of Caring.

These projects will include: Born learning trail updates, yardwork at Rachel’s Hope, indoor/outdoor projects at the Salvation Army, grounds cleanup at the Mower County Historical Society, cleanup at Todd Park, and waterway cleanup at Mill Pond, East Side Lake and the Bandshell Park.
