Week of Caring 2026

September 14–19, 2026

Week of Caring is a community-wide volunteer initiative that brings together individuals, businesses, and local organizations to make a meaningful difference through service. During this special week, volunteers have the opportunity to support nonprofit organizations throughout Lancaster County by participating in hands-on projects that strengthen our community and help advance important missions.

From September 14–19, 2026, volunteers will come together to share their time, skills, and passion while helping local nonprofits complete impactful projects. Whether it’s organizing, beautifying spaces, assisting with programs, or supporting community needs, every volunteer hour helps create positive change.

Nonprofit organizations are invited to submit volunteer projects that engage community members and provide meaningful opportunities for service. Businesses, teams, families, and individuals are encouraged to participate and experience the power of giving back.

Together, we can build stronger connections, support the organizations making a difference every day, and celebrate the spirit of community through Week of Caring 2026.
