HANDS ON NETWORK NEW ORLEANS & GULF COAST

Get Hands On in the Gulf Region!

Since Hurricane Katrina and its devastation along the Gulf Coast, volunteers with Hands On Gulf Coast and Hands On New Orleans have made a huge impact in the area. The work has included removing trees from more than 400 sites, gutting more than 750 homes, walking hundreds of dogs, delivering countless supplies, and feeding and housing more than 1,000 volunteers. Volunteers are still desperately needed. Hands On Network is continuing to support these civic action centers thanks to the contributions of our corporate partners. Please Join Us!
