Hands On Nashville coordinates programmatic special events core to our mission of enabling us to expand the reach of our services and involve more volunteers.

• Hands On Nashville Day is held each fall and is the city's largest day of volunteer service benefiting Metro Nashville Public Schools. Over 1,200 volunteers spend a morning painting, landscaping, and improving 60+ public schools. These adult teams of volunteers come from companies, faith groups, civic organizations and many other community groups. Hands On Nashville Day is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2008.
  
• The Mary Catherine Strobel Volunteers of the Year Awards recognizes individuals and groups who have selflessly given their time and talents to improve the lives of others in Middle Tennessee. Several hundred volunteers are nominated for the five annual awards and celebrated at a recognition luncheon. The awards luncheon will be held April 16, 2008 at the Franklin/Cool Springs Marriott.
