As part of a year round volunteer engagement plan RUW coordinates special one day volunteer mobilization events, targeting volunteers from the local business community.  Volunteers are matched with non-profit organizations, social services and schools to complete vital projects in the community.

A committee of local business, nonprofit, school and governmental representatives meets annually to plan each Day of Caring.
