Hands On Kansas City

Hands On Kansas City, formerly Kansas City Cares, represents a new type of volunteer organization that goes far beyond the traditional volunteer clearinghouse. Hands On Kansas City is designed to help its members give back to the community, but in a flexible way that accommodates their busy lives.

Hands On Kansas City was founded in March 1994 by an enthusiastic group of young professionals who had heard of the success of the Hands on Network in fifty-four cities nationwide. Hands On Kansas City has grown to include over 1,000 members who regularly provide volunteer assistance to dozens of social service organizations throughout the metropolitan area.

Hands On Network

Hands On Network brings people together to strengthen communities through meaningful volunteer action. We are a growing network of more than a half million volunteers changing communities inside and outside the United States. Hands On Network creates and manages nearly 50,000 projects a year, from building wheelchair ramps in San Francisco to teaching reading in Atlanta, to rebuilding homes and lives in the Gulf coast communities.
