Week of Caring 2022

From October 17th – October 20th, United Way of Greater New Haven will be hosting our annual Week of Caring! This year, Week of Caring is dedicated to coming together to show our support for families and individuals going through the shelter system and waiting to find a permanent place to live. Throughout the week, we will host a series of volunteer opportunities in partnership with local providers to help amplify their work and provide support for those in need.
