A note from Lisa Quisenberry

Dear friends of Hands On Charlotte,


I want to thank you personally for everything you've done in support of Hands On Charlotte this year. Without committed people like you, we simply wouldn't be able to serve Charlotte's most vulnerable communities and populations. We know that in these challenging economic times, it's difficult to find time for other people. Thank you for finding that time, and thank you for your support of Hands On Charlotte.


I'm writing to invite you to participate in this year's Hands On Charlotte Day, which is Saturday, October 16. In its 18th year, Hands On Charlotte Day is taking aim at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and local non-profit organizations. We have beautification and construction projects planned at public schools, parks, museums and community centers. We hope you will join us in supporting our community on this inspirational and meaningful day. Please sign up on the HOC web site.


Although you will be serving the community on Hands On Charlotte Day, this event is also a fundraiser for us. Your individual or family contribution supports the year-round work of of HOC, giving people like you--people searching for convenient and effective volunteer opportunities--the chance to take advantage of hundreds of projects each month. So if you cannot make it to Hands On Charlotte Day, but you would like to make a donation to Hands On Charlotte, please visit our donation page.


If you've already signed up, thank you! Volunteering is often even more enjoyable with friends. Perhaps you could mobilize your inner circle and start a volunteer team?


The communities we serve depend on people like you. Hands On Charlotte Day depends on people like you. Please join us October 16 from 9 a.m. until noon for Hands On Charlotte Day.




Together in service,


Lisa Quisenberry
