Background
- What is Family Volunteer Day?
“Hands
on Network” and the Disney Company have joined forces to sponsor Family
Volunteer Day. This is a day of service designed to demonstrate the power of
families who choose to volunteer together to support the communities in
which they live and serve. Volunteering as a family provides quality time
for busy families, strengthens communication and bonds, and positively
impacts local communities across the nation. The day was created to
highlight the benefits of family volunteering and to provide an opportunity
for
America
’s
families to help communities create supportive environments for their
children and each other. The Day is strategically held on the Saturday
before Thanksgiving each year as a means of “kicking-off” a
Holiday
season of giving and service. In addition, Family Volunteer Day kicks off
National Family Week.
