For organizations like the Hendersonville Samaritan Association, connecting with volunteers used to take extra time and manual coordination. Someone interested in volunteering would call, wait for a staff member to answer, and then have their name written down on paper or a clipboard before receiving a follow-up call.
Now, through Hands On powered by United Way of Greater Nashville, that process is much easier for both volunteers and nonprofit teams. The online portal gives volunteers the freedom to choose opportunities that fit their schedules, interests, and availability. Instead of relying on phone calls and paper sign-up sheets, volunteers can select the days and times they want to serve and sign up directly online.
“Organizations need your help, and Hands On is an easy, free tool for nonprofit partners so that you can use your time well, and we can use your time well to serve those in need.” Kyle Hill, Director, Hendersonville Samaritan Association
That flexibility helps organizations use volunteers efficiently, making it easier for community members to invest their time in meaningful service. For nonprofits, schools, and community organizations, Hands On offers a simple way to recruit, schedule, and manage volunteers so they can focus more energy on serving neighbors in need.
Hands On provides this resource to help partners strengthen their volunteer programs and expand their impact across Middle Tennessee.
For the Hendersonville Samaritan Association, it means more efficient coordination and more opportunities for volunteers to step in where help is needed most.
