3. HandsOn Greater Huntsville, formerly known as The Volunteer Center
of Madison County, is the premier connection between volunteers and
community needs. We partner with the community to mobilize volunteers
and to provide solutions to local challenges. But it is you, the individual
volunteer, who makes HandsOn key to this community. We believe that
only people can solve community problems, and we would like to challenge
you to help us help our community.
HandsOn Greater Huntsville was created in 1969 as a clearinghouse to
link new volunteers with non-profit organizations. We build the capacity of
partner agencies – most of the non-profit agencies in our community
- to involve and manage volunteers and to address local needs
through volunteering.
HandsOn Greater Huntsville is the only agency in Madison County that
acts as a clearinghouse for ALL volunteer services to over 175 non-
profit agencies. Over the past year, HandsOn Greater Huntsville has
facilitated over 3,000 opportunities for volunteers to serve. We have
tripled our volunteer database from 1,500 to over 4,500 registered skilled/
unskilled volunteers who support the tutoring, translating, business and
workplace volunteering and overall betterment of Madison County. The
national average value for a volunteer, based on research by the Points
of Light Institute, is $21.44/hour in 2009. Based on that figure, HandsOn
Greater Huntsville provided our community with over $2.4 million in
volunteer placements last year. Your gift of time, talent and treasure helps
strengthen our community and we thank you.
HandsOn Greater Huntsville offers online registration and volunteer
opportunities at www.volunteerhsv.org. Our toll free number is 1-877-567-
8723. We provide customized, done-in-a-day projects for individuals and
for businesses who promote employee volunteerism. Make it part of your
Business Plan to be a member of HandsOn Business Volunteer Council.
Please join us. We know we can provide an opportunity for you to better
our community.
