The Town of Barrington’s Day of Caring is a community -wide event for individuals, families, friends, or teams to come together as volunteers to help eligible residents in need through service projects. Examples of projects include outdoor maintenance or indoor projects. This event is held each year on Indigenous People’s Day, formerly Columbus Day, on the first Monday of October.
