Hands On Greater Portland Volunteer Update -
August 2007
Portland in the top 10 nationally for
volunteering Well, it’s official. What we sensed was true has been documented in a new report from the Corporation for
National & Community Service. The Portland metro area is ranked 6th in the nation for volunteering, according to the report, Volunteering in
America: 2007 City Trends and Rankings. At Hands On, we’re not surprised as we’ve seen the first hand our region’s amazing
spirit of volunteering. Click here for more information on the report.
Portland Century We know that you like to
volunteer. Like to bike? We thought you might. The Portland Century on Sunday, August 26, is a great way to bring those passions
together – and support Hands On Greater Portland to boot. The Portland Century is the only Portland-based century ride, and this year we
expect a full field of riders taking part in the 25, 50 and 100-mile routes. Proceeds from the Portland Century go to Hands On to help us
provide rewarding, flexible volunteer opportunities that meet real needs in the community. This is a great volunteer project. In fact,
Porter and Tom from Portland Century have really thought this through and have organized a variety of great ways to help out, be part of the fun, and
help Hands On. Whether it’s helping to feed a bunch of hungry bikers, playing roving mechanic or joining the crew of medical riders,
there’s an opportunity that will fit your schedule and interests. Complete info and sign ups at www.portlandcentury.com.
