The Days of Action is an annual event that promotes volunteerism through the United Way. 

Groups and individuals are encouraged to sign up for projects in their local community. This year’s event will also feature a new way to volunteer, speed volunteering. Volunteers can come to the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce or the United Way office from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 21 and March 22 to assemble resource packets for individuals in Rutherford and Cannon Counties.
 
More than 500 volunteers participated in last year’s Days of Action, accounting for 2,301 hours of service and completing 56 projects. 

Also, for the third year in a row, United Way will be partnering with Middle Tennessee State University’s The Big Event. Students from MTSU will participate in volunteer projects throughout the community on March 23.
 
This year’s event is presented in partnership with MTSU Athletics and the Student Government Association and is sponsored by Nissan, Publix Super Markets and Publix Super Market Charities, Regions Bank and Middle Tennessee Medical Center.
