More than 500 shared a meal with someone in need...
More than 100 cleaned trails and improved the environment...
More than 1,000 volunteered in local schools

Most of them gave an average of just 4 hours over the course of the year, but their time made a real difference.  If you have a busy schedule and it doesn't allow for a lot of free time, or if you want to volunteer but don't know where to start, our Hands On Projects are a great place to start.

Sign up on our website or by phone and you can access over 30 volunteer opportunities each month.  Volunteers pack food bags for clients of Nashville CARES, play bingo with residents of the JB Knowles Home, serve meals at the Nashville Rescue Mission, and participate in projects with many additional agencies.  Click here to create an online account and become a Hands On Nashville volunteer.

The majority of Hands On Projects take place on the evenings and weekends giving you the opportunity to volunteer at times that are convenient for you.  Volunteers select projects "right" for them based on interests, geographic location or schedule.  Hands On Nashville volunteer leaders, or project coordinators, greet you at the project, provide instructions, act as a liaison with the agency, and thank you when you are finished.  Hands On Nashville does not require a minimum time commitment of service; instead volunteers can serve as often as you like or whenever your schedule allows.  Each of our projects is well managed, convenient and meaningful, so sign up to be a volunteer today or browse our monthly project offerings.
