United Way of North Central New Mexico has announced that its annual Day of Caring event has evolved into a Week of Caring for 2023, offering even more volunteer opportunities for New Mexicans. United Way is a nonprofit that works to tackle systemic problems to support families throughout North Central New Mexico.

The non-profit is making an impact in the Land of Enchantment by increasing education opportunities for children, connecting individuals to crisis resources, offering free help with tax filing, and more. For 2023’s Week of Caring, which will be from September 18 to 23, United Way is supporting unhoused individuals by providing hygiene kits and distributing groceries.

After being assembled, the hygiene kits will be distributed to 18 non-profits, spread among Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Torrance, and Valencia counties. This year, United Way of North Central New Mexico has its first title sponsor for the event, PNC Bank. PNC Bank is stepping up in an effort to move everyone “forward financially.”
