Last year, 75 UTC volunteers participated—doubling the number from the year before. For 2025, our goal is to engage at least 100 students, faculty, staff, and alumni to serve alongside our neighbors across Chattanooga. Volunteer projects include preparing and sorting food, organizing pantries, painting, and building projects at service sites across the city.

Volunteers are needed from 7:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Breakfast, transportation, and lunch are provided. Transportation will be available for all UTC students, faculty, and staff who volunteer.

If you’re part of a student organization that encourages service, or if you’re an instructor with a service-learning component in your course, Day of Caring is a great way to get involved together.
