Their support made it possible for me and my family to get off the streets and into a safe, comfortable home. I also would like to give a very special thanks to Ms. Mallory Graham in the Intake department she was kind, professional, and worked quickly to process everything to get my check ready for the landlord. Because of her help, I was able to move in without delay. This program truly changes lives, and I am so grateful for the assistance I received.

My husband of 46 years just passed a week ago today. I put together 4 large bags of sweaters, long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, pants, scarves, gloves, hats, shoes and over 50 pairs of socks, all clean and in excellent condition. I was informed at the Gate that they only accept new clothing. This is the first day since my husband's death that I was really able to focus on something other than my grief. Sadly, that buzz ended at your gate. I drove to Salvation Army and left my donations for which they were happy and grateful to accept.

I started buying general gifts for 1 boy & 1 girl. Usually young adolescents that are hard to choose for. After a couple of years I decided to just buy bicycles. I remember being a kid & a brand new Christmas bike was amazing. I've been donating 2 bikes now for many years. 3 or 4 yrs ago I became aware of the senior program so I chose a man & a woman & buy things on their wish/needs lists. My kids are grown & I do not have grandchildren so I am dedicated to utilizing this great program to give to those less fortunate than myself. The Salvation Army does great things like this & I just wish they would advertise it more.

Those gifts are then grouped together and assigned a number. Families are given a time and day to pick up their gifts. One can volunteer for a 4 hour shift where they will be introduced to a member of the family and given a sheet directing you to their gifts. You and a partner will then pick up their gifts, help the family member select a stocking or teddy bear and then help them to their car with the gifts. This volunteer event is very well organized, and the people are so grateful for the gifts. I highly recommend giving this volunteer opportunity a try. I believe this event only occurs in December each year. ***Please note*** The location of this event moves around so please check with the Salvation Army before you go.

I used to volunteer a lot, then got out of it as I got older, and was happy to have volunteering put in the forefront of the news with Disney. I knew the volume of people signing up for events, and was pleasantly surprised when I painted a house with Hands On Orlando. The day consisted of painting four houses, with 100 volunteer expected. The HOO coordinator was very organized, arrived early and was very friendly. There was a HOO coordinator for each house, and one who monitored the whole project. They were very clear in their directions, and made a very humid day painting a house in not a great neighbor hood a great experience. Being an annual passholder for Disney, I wasn't worried about the processing time for the receipt of the Disney voucher, and yet it was in my email by Tuesday. Its kind of sad, the coordinator said that the month before, for the same event they had only twenty volunteers, and now all their events are full. While we appreciate all the Disney is doing to help communities, I sure wish more people would volunteer without having to be bribed, and I can't wait til we do it again!

Amazing organization! I love the Hands On network!…read more When I lived in Nashville, I frequently volunteered with Hands on Nashville to sort and create bags of groceries for those in the area living with AIDS. I was also a captain for Hands on Nashville Day, where we painted and spruced up a local high school, and even helped out at the animal shelter a few times. When I moved back to O-town I was super excited to find a local Hands On chapter. There is truly something for everyone here. Whether you like to work with your hands and get dirty, or just sit and hang out with some at-risk kids, or play with the puppies and kitties at the local shelter, Hands on Orlando has a huge network of opportunities, linking you with others who share your passions and organizations that run on the support of volunteers. To sing up, they keep things super simple. Log on to www.handsonorlando.com, create an account, then click on the calendar, and click on the event you wish to volunteer for. A quick sign up and print off of the waiver (or your coordinator can give you one at the time of the event), and you are good to go! The volunteer coordinators are super fun and work well with the organizations to ensure a smooth-flowing but fun volunteer experience. Since I've been back in Orlando, I have had the pleasure of volunteering with Coalition for the Homeless, Clean the World, and even the City of Casselberry through Hands on Orlando. This is a great way to get to know all the awesome local groups that take care of our community. I encourage everyone to find at least one Saturday morning a month to give back in 2015!
