Be a part of the Inland Empire’s largest day of community, civic and corporate volunteerism – Hands On Inland Empire Day!  On June 9th, hundreds of volunteers will gather at multiple project sites throughout San Bernardino and Eastern Los Angeles counties.

Working together, we will transform, revitalize and brighten schools, local nonprofits, community gardens and parks. We will paint, plant and leave a lasting mark on our community and the agencies that serve those in need.

Hands On Inland Empire Day raises vital funds that allow us to continue our mission of mobilizing volunteers, developing leaders and building strong communities all year long. Funds are raised primarily through corporate sponsorship of the event. Sponsoring companies enjoy the benefits of the event’s extensive promotional campaign as they foster a spirit of teamwork in their group and brand themselves as having a stake in their community. In addition, corporate and individual volunteers may raise funds by collecting pledge dollars for the hands-on service they perform to help others in the community.
