Groups of UHS employees volunteered for the 2026 Day of Caring on Friday, September 11 at multiple locations, rolling up their sleeves to support the annual activity organized by United Way of Broome County.
UHS teams deployed to several locations, including UHS Senior Living at Ideal, early Friday morning and immediately began pitching in to spruce up the nonprofit sites under the direction of site supervisors. The UHS groups joined other volunteers from across the community.
Day of Caring volunteers step up for local health and human service agencies, parks, attractions and other nonprofit sites to clean, sweep, paint, dig, plant and repair. Whether indoors or out, the work takes a lot of elbow grease, but there also is time for refreshments, camaraderie and moments of fun.
UHS traditionally is a strong supporter of Day of Caring, which commemorates the heroism and self-sacrifice of Americans in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The impact extends well beyond beautification. The volunteers’ contributions of time allow many agencies involved to reallocate funds that would have been spent on capital projects back into programming and direct services for local residents.
