What is Day of Action?

Day of Action is a community wide day of hands-on volunteering. United Way of Missoula County connects volunteers from businesses with local nonprofit organizations and our own programs to complete various projects, such as painting, clean-up, yard work, etc.

United Way’s Day of Action highlights the essential role volunteerism plays in strengthening our community. It brings people together to tackle some of Missoula’s most urgent needs while offering a firsthand look at the services and programs that support local families. The hands-on projects not only make a real impact—they also provide meaningful team-building opportunities for participating workplaces.

The Day of Action also shines a light on United Way of Missoula County’s role in uniting volunteers to advance the common good. Volunteer teams from local businesses are matched with projects submitted by our nonprofit partners, ensuring that every effort directly supports community priorities.

Volunteer shifts are typically morning (9am-noon), afternoon (1pm-4pm) or all day (9am-4pm). We welcome a wide variety of experience and skills - the projects typically don't require specific knowledge or skills. Volunteers are invited to join us to start the day with a kick-off breakfast at 8 a.m. Contact Erin Wilkins at erin@missoulaunitedway.org to get involved!
