Friday Roundup – 12.10.10

The office renovation project is in its final stages. We will come back Monday to some repaired walls and fresh paint. Perhaps it’s not as riveting of a story for everyone in the blogosphere, but for us at Hands On Charlotte, it’s a big, big deal.

Through all the excitement, we’ve been working on two fronts. For one, our holiday donation campaign is in full swing. Have you considered making a charitable donation to Hands On Charlotte this holiday season? If you want to donate this weekend, amid all the holiday shopping, please visit our main website.

In addition to working on the holiday campaign, we are in the thick of planning for our MLK Week of Service, which we will kick off in mid January. News of our big plans broke on WSOC earlier this week. I promise to keep you updated on here over the next five weeks. Hands On Charlotte’s MLK Week of Service is going to be fantastic! Stay tuned.

Of course, you don’t have to wait until January to volunteer in Charlotte! Here are a couple opportunities to volunteer through Hands On Charlotte:

• Saturday – Thunder Road Marathon: Charlotte is buzzing about tomorrow’s marathon. Here is you chance to watch the event while helping make it a success.
• Saturday – Metal Recycling at Habitat ReStore: One of our favorite projects, come join Habitat for Humanity’s efforts on a different level. By sorting through donated materials, volunteers help make Habitat’s process more efficient and impactful.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for reading, and we’ll be back to the blog next week!
