SAVE THE DATE: MONDAY, MAY 18, 2026

Each year, United Way of the Greater Capital Region (UWGCR) hosts 518 Day—a region-wide day of volunteerism supporting dozens of local nonprofits and community-based organizations. Hundreds of volunteers from across the Capital Region come together on May 18 (hence, 518 Day) to give back and celebrate the spirit of philanthropy that strengthens our neighborhoods and communities.
