The Impact Now program is a calendar of service projects organized by HandsOn Twin Cities. Each project takes between 1-3 hours, requires no advance training or ongoing commitment, and is led by a HandsOn Project Coordinator. Projects happen at a variety of nonprofit organizations throughout the metro who have requested volunteer support for everything from serving meals to sorting donations to reading with children.
