Done-In-A-Day

Application Process for 2010-2011 Projects

Done-In-A-Day is a series of concentrated projects that provide assistance to non-profit agencies by offering volunteers for community-based events on a short-term basis. Volunteers can provide support at a variety of events including fundraisers, however volunteers may not solicit funds or goods for an agency prior to or during an event. Done-In-A-Day volunteers can help with events such as picnics, food bank distribution, holiday parties, egg hunts, 10K Race water distribution, children's shoe collection and delivery, just to name a few areas of assistance.  Volunteer placements are generally scheduled in four-hour shifts over a time span of half-a-day, one-day or two-day periods.

Please note that changes to how you can request volunteers for Done in Day have been made.  You are now encouraged to make requests throughout the year. We hope by giving agencies an opportunity to request volunteers multiple times in a year and not as far in advance will allow you to find other meaningful placements for our volunteers. The following application deadlines apply for the 2010-2011 year:

  • WINTER Cycle: Applications due Sept. 15, 2010 for projects from Dec. 1, 2010 through March 14, 2011
