Thank you, Fifth Third Bank, for giving your time to support our community.

Fifth Third Bank volunteers packed 200 hygiene kits in record time, supporting families across the Tri-County with essential items that many households may struggle to afford.

We're grateful for your partnership and continued commitment to making a difference!

Days of Caring volunteer registration is OPEN! Be part of the Tri-County area's largest service event and give your time to support local nonprofits, agencies and schools.

Last year, over 2,000 volunteers completed 150 projects at 75 nonprofits and schools across Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester County. This provided over $265,000 of economic impact!

Visit TUW.org/DaysofCaring to view available projects - with more still being added.

We look forward to seeing all of the volunteers out making an impact in our community during Days of Caring on November 18-20!

Thank you to the United Bank team for supporting our community!

Last month, volunteers from United Bank packed 250 hygiene kits that will support families across the Tri-County. With 37% of households living at or below the ALICE Threshold, these kits mean one less expense for famlies already making impossible choices every day.
