The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is proud to once again partner with the United Way of Greater Chattanooga for the 21st Annual city-wide Day of Caring on Friday, September 19. We invite students, faculty, staff, and alumni to join this impactful volunteer initiative alongside more than 500 community members across Chattanooga.

This annual event offers a unique opportunity for UTC to demonstrate our collective commitment to civic engagement and servant leadership by addressing pressing community needs. Volunteer projects include making meals, sorting food, food pantry organization, painting projects, and building projects at various service sites throughout the city.

By participating in Day of Caring, faculty and staff have the opportunity to model a culture of service, lead by example in fostering community engagement, elevate UTC’s role as a regional changemaker, and continue to light the way for others through compassion, commitment, and purpose.
