Day of Caring

Day of Caring is an annual day of service where volunteers join UWHC to give back to the community. Our 2023 Day of Caring will be held on Friday, October 13, 2023. The type of work will vary based on location but will include painting, landscaping, pressure washing, debris removal, smoke alarm installation, and cleaning.

The kickoff celebration will be held at Carolina Forest Recreation Center with registration beginning at 7:45 am. Breakfast will be served through 8:30 am, with a short program beginning at 8:15 am. After a group picture is taken, volunteers will be dispersed to project site locations to begin work.

Project site locations include:

  • Fresh Brewed Coffee House
  • New Directions – 4 locations, Family Shelter, Men’s Shelter, Snug Harbor and Women’s Shelter
  • SOS Care – 3 locations, Murrells Inlet, 21st Ave Myrtle Beach, and Oak Street Myrtle Beach
  • Boys & Girls Club of the Grand Strand
  • Horry County Fire Rescue
  • Habitat for Humanity of Horry County
  • Kingston Lake Education Center
  • Veterans Welcome Home Resource Center

Please stay tuned for project updates and other announcements.
