Every September, Community Cares Day brings together neighbors from across Lincoln County to do something remarkable: we spend one day helping local homeowners make their homes safer,

more accessible, and better prepared for the seasons ahead. Whether it's building a ramp, repairing steps, tackling yard work, painting, or lending a hand wherever it's needed, every volunteer helps make a real difference. Just as important, Cares Day is a chance to spend the day working alongside friends, meeting new people, learning new skills, and seeing firsthand the impact a community can have when it comes together.  

Here's where you come in: 

We're currently planning this year's projects. The number of volunteers who register—and the skills they bring—determines how many homeowners we'll be able to help and what kinds of projects we can take on. The sooner we know who's joining us, the better we can match volunteers with projects, assemble crews, and ensure we make the biggest possible impact. If Community Cares Day has become part of your September tradition, we hope you'll take a moment to register today. And if you've been thinking about volunteering for the first time, we'd love to have you. You don't need to be an experienced carpenter or contractor—there are meaningful roles for every skill level, and every volunteer makes a difference. If you have a friend, colleague, or family member who you think might be interested in participating, please pass this information along to them as well. Community Cares Day takes place on Saturday, September 12, and we'll provide your project assignment, crew information, lunch, and everything you'll need for a rewarding day of service.
