Hands On Greenville has conducted Hands on the Holidays, a Christmas gift drive for foster children in the community, for the past eight years.
Hands On Greenville works closely with the Department of Social Service of Greenville County to collect "wish lists" from each child in the fall. The children ask for
clothing items, electronic items, school supplies and one special gift.

Wille Mae Bolden is nine months into her year of service as an AmeriCorps VISTA in the Atlanta office of the HandsOn Network and Points of Light Institute office. She has
reflected upon what she has learned, gained and the contributions she has made.
This annual day of service, held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, is 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.
