About Agency: HandsOn Greater Huntsville is the primary connection between volunteers and community needs.
Why I volunteer: Deanna Robinson: "I attended the Family Volunteer Day event because I thought it would be a great experience for my family to work together by helping other organizations. I’m a firm believer it is always better to give then to receive. In addition, I want that giving spirit of helping other people to flow from myself to my children and generations after me."
