ABC Day

On ABC Day (A Better Community Day) volunteers get paired with local not-for-profit organizations in Hamilton. The goal of the event is to help make tomorrow’s Hamilton better than today’s.

The very first ABC Day was held in 2016 and nearly 100 students and community members participated – signing up to support one of the three local organizations involved that year. The event has grown every year since.
