About Day of Action

Day of Action is a worldwide United Way event. In Rhode Island, our event will be held on June 8, 2024 with shifts from 9 a.m. - noon and 12:30 - 3:30 p.m. to sort, label, and prepare the books for distribution to children in summer learning and afterschool programs. Contact volunteer@unitedwayri.org to volunteer.

We are in our 12th year of Children's Book Drive. Rhode Islanders are invited to buy and ship books, drop off new and gently used books at a community collection site, or host a drive with their family, friends, or coworkers.
