Programs and Services:

• Hands On Sacramento
  Hands On Sacramento (HOS), a program of the Community Services Planning Council, organizes fun, one-time group volunteer projects in partnership with a variety of community organizations. Hands On Sacramento’s flexible volunteering is great for business groups and individuals who want to get involved in their community. There is no minimum commitment and projects are planned during evenings and weekends to fit busy schedules. By providing an alternative to traditional volunteering, Hands On Sacramento helps busy individuals, families, and business groups find the time to connect to the community.

• Singles In Service
  Singles In Service is a project of Hands On Sacramento for single volunteers to meet and make a difference in the Sacramento community. Hands On Sacramento partners with local singles organizations and non-profit agencies to coordinate fun, monthly service projects. Volunteers come from Davis to Folsom, Roseville to Elk Grove and are aged 20-65.
  

Annual Special Events:

• CESAR (Communities Engaged in Service and Renewal) Day
  CESAR Day exemplifies Cesar Chavez’s values of service to others, respect for the environment and celebrating community. The service event is planned each year in coordination with the State of California’s 3rd Annual Cesar Chavez Day of Service and Learning. Hands On Sacramento and event sponsors hold this community service event to celebrate and commemorate this day. Past projects have included planting trees, painting, mulching trees, and repairing wheelchair access ramps to help beautify and improve public areas, schools and museums. C.E.S.A.R. provides an excellent opportunity for people to be involved in their communities and to honor Chavez’s life through the spirit of service.

• Hands On Sacramento Day
  Providing a thousand hours of community service in just one day, the Hands On Sacramento Day serv-A-Thon is HOS’s only fundraising event of the year. A serv-a-thon is like a walk-a-thon, only instead of walking participants will be volunteering. Individual volunteers and volunteer teams raise pledges to support their day of service and enjoy an exciting day of fun, service and community building. Hands On Sacramento volunteers, as well as business, church, youth, and civic groups participate in a variety of fun, group service projects in and around Sacramento.

• National Make-A-Difference Day
  Hands On Sacramento partners with local businesses to sponsor projects in honor of National-Make-A-Difference Day. It is an opportunity for all volunteers to give back to their communities in a fun, practical and meaningful way.
