Hands On Memphis and Volunteer Memphis, two of the very best ways to get plugged into the Memphis volunteer community, are merging. The name of the new organization has not been determined at this time. Hands On’s site has more information on their homepage.
I haven’t worked a whole lot with these organizations, because I’ve been so involved with Mpact the past few years. However, many of my friends volunteer with them regularly, and they have told me it is a great experience, where you meet a lot of cool people and give back to the community at the same time. Check out Hands On’s and Volunteer Memphis’ current projects and see all the ways you can make Memphis a better place. There’s something for everyone.
