The Day of Caring was established in 1992 by the United Way-Thomas Jefferson Area to promote the spirit and value of volunteerism, increase the awareness of local human service agencies and schools, and demonstrate what people working together for the community's good can accomplish.
In 1999, the Day of Caring was renamed the United Way Laurence E. Richardson
Day of Caring in honor of Larry Richardson, a long-time volunteer of the
United Way and the community, and past president of the
Charlottesville Broadcasting Company.
