As the City of Nashville continues to recover from the explosion on 2nd Avenue, Hands On Nashville, in collaboration with the Mayor's Office and the Office of Emergency Management(OEM), needs volunteers to help with manual labor as residents and employees check on their apartments and businesses alike.

  • Removing debris (primarily Saturday and Sunday shifts)
  • Volunteers should be prepared to stand for long periods of time, be able to carry 25+ pounds, and navigate uneven ground 
  • Volunteers will NOT be entering buildings damaged by the bombing.
   
Volunteer Notes:    
  • Volunteers for this position should have a high level of patience, attention to detail, and be customer service oriented.    
  • If you have your own PPE, please bring it with you. We will provide masks and gloves on site if needed. Masks and appropriate social distancing will be required for the duration of this project.

In accordance with Mayor John Cooper’s Roadmap for Reopening Nashville, Hands On Nashville recommends the following guidelines for volunteering:       
  • Individuals belonging to the following groups should not volunteer for in-person opportunities: ages 65 and up, those with elevated health risk or compromised immune systems, anyone who is feeling unwell (or who has been exposed to/is caring for someone who is sick or has a compromised immune system).      
  • Volunteers who attend projects should take recommended precautions, including maintaining distances between themselves and other people; practicing hand-washing and sanitation of spaces; wearing gloves, masks, and other protective gear; etc. As always, consult a medical professional should you begin to feel unwell at any point during or after a project.      
       
If you decide not to attend a project, please log in to hon.org and remove yourself from the opportunity ahead of time so that another volunteer may have a chance to fill your slot. If you have any trouble with this, email hon@hon.org and we’ll be happy to help!
