Registration is open for the 26th annual Day of Caring, to be held on Aug. 15.

Organized by the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, Day of Caring is Western New York’s largest community service event, and serves as the informal launch for UB’s annual Campaign for the Community.

UB volunteers will work throughout Western New York on various projects in the community, such as painting and landscaping.

The event starts at 8 a.m. at First Niagara Center. Volunteers will travel by bus to their work sites and return to FNC at noon for a free lunch and entertainment.

Volunteers are asked to register by Aug. 13.
