Hands On Asheville-Buncombe
The Volunteer Center of United Way                                              November  2015
Dear Hands On Volunteer,


Join Michelle and Charlie after work TOMORROW night (Thursday, 10/29) for a pint with a purpose...to benefit Hands On Asheville-Buncombe! Pour Taproom in West Asheville (800 Haywood Rd) will generously donate 15% of the evening's sales to the United Way volunteer center. This will be great opportunity to meet you and other volunteers and supporters before the busy holiday season. Hope you can make it!


BIG Help (Flex Project)

Big Brothers Big Sisters needs BIG help with their series of interactive Flex projects that support children and other nonprofits in our community. Hands On volunteers will make festive ornaments and holiday decorations for the tree at the Care Partners Rehab Hospital. Matches will then decorate the tree during a holiday party on Dec. 5. Great for groups. SIGN UP>>
