Hands On Nashville Day 2008
Nashville’s largest annual day
of community service
to Metro Schools
Saturday
September 27 8am-12pm
Hands On Nashville (HON) Day engages 1,000
community volunteers at approximately 50 public
school sites to complete improvement projects
that create healthier and safer environments for
children. Projects typically include painting,
landscaping, repairs, cleaning, organizing, and
educational tool development.
Each year, Hands On Nashville Day saves Metro
Schools $75,000* in labor costs, while providing
community members an opportunity to directly support
public education through volunteerism.
*Calculated using The Corporation for
National and Community Service’s hourly volunteer
labor value of $18.75.
Hands On Nashville Day participants are
primarily young professionals who live and work
in Nashville and surrounding counties. Many college
students also take part.
Hands On Nashville Day not only engages the
community in service to Metro Schools, but also
raises needed funds to support Hands On Nashville's
year-round work. Each participant pays a $25
registration fee* which allows Hands On
Nashville to provide volunteer support to over 200
Middle TN nonprofits, government agencies, and
schools each year.
*Hands On Nashville is a 501c3 and
registration fee is tax deductible.
In addition to taking part in Nashville’s largest
annual day of service to Metro Schools,
participants also receive a t-shirt and invitation
to the Celebration – the HON Day after party at
LIMELIGHT from 12pm to 2pm. This party includes a
complimentary lunch, entertainment, door prizes, and
great give-a-ways.
