2009 Hands On Greenville Day
(H.O.G. Day)

H.O.G. Day is the largest day of service for the state of South Carolina and it’s big! On Saturday, May 2, 2009, Hands On Greenville will celebrate 15 years of volunteerism.

Volunteers will spread throughout Greenville and surrounding areas to repair cabins at campgrounds for the disabled, paint playground equipment and murals at our public schools, landscape the grounds of local shelters, and beautify nearby state and city parks. Companies large and small create teams to participate and reap the benefits of teamwork, camaraderie and the feeling of making a difference.

Everyone is welcome!
Attendance is expected to be more than 4,000 volunteers from Greenville's corporations, churches, schools, and professional and civic organizations. Teams of friends and other individuals will also be formed. This event is “family friendly” as children as young as 8 years old can attend, accompanied by a parent or other adult.

When
H.O.G. Day will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2009. Registration will take place at each project site from 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. Projects will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., followed by a thank you celebration and lunch held at Fluor Field in Downtown Greenville.

Where
Service projects for H.O.G. Day will take place at approximately 90 sites throughout Greenville County, including emergency shelters, public schools, group homes, playgrounds, parks, food banks, and soup kitchens.

Hands On Greenville Day has three goals:
• To provide 12,000 hours of community service in a single day
• To raise funds to help Hands On Greenville continue its year-round mission of creating meaningful volunteer opportunities
• To promote the spirit of volunteerism and demonstrate the power of community service.
