On April 25, MusiCares will host The Day That Music Cares, an annual worldwide day of service. Now in its third year, the initiative invites everyone in the music community — both people who work in music and music fans — to give back in ways that feel meaningful to them. Last year, more than 2,500 people participated, according to MusiCares, which says the day “is about showing up for your local community and reconnecting through acts of service.”
This initiative was first inspired by the 2023 advisory from then-U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, which named loneliness and isolation a public health crisis.

MusiCares has created a site which provides more information, including a sign-up form, suggestions for service (including virtual service opportunities, such as writing letters to seniors), and even a sample draft of a “time-off request” to send to your boss seeking to take the day off for a day of service.
The site also has some FAQ that shed light on the initiative. Some highlights:
What if I can’t volunteer on April 25, but I can the next day or another time that week?
That works! While April 25 is The Day That Music Cares, participating on a different day during that week still counts and every act of service makes a difference.
Do I have to do something music-related?
No, on The Day That Music Cares, you are encouraged to volunteer for any cause that is close to your heart.
What if I can’t find a volunteer opportunity that takes place in my area on the website?
You don’t have to choose a volunteer activity from the website to take part in The Day That Music Cares — any act of service counts!
