One Good Thing: Day of Caring

For the 20th year, the Heart of West Michigan United Way organized an effort to help several nonprofits in one day.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — There are a few days every year reserved by certain organizations to go out and do good deeds. We saw one just recently.

The Heart of West Michigan United Way's Day of Caring saw more than 800 volunteers complete more than 80 different volunteer projects throughout the area.

The Heart of West Michigan United Way's Day of Caring has been in operation for 20 years now. It gets today's One Good Thing.
