18th Annual HOTC Day

Our 18th Annual HOTC Day will be Saturday, October 23, 2021 from 9am to noon.
One Day. One Community. One Mission – Do Good!
Big thanks to Presenting Sponsor Ashley HomeStore!

HOTC Day 2021 will unite our friends, neighbors, and colleagues through the simple act of volunteer service. Choose from traditional or independent project sites to fit your needs.

This day is one way to bring us together on many levels. We believe that volunteering provides a positive outlet benefiting the physical, mental, and spiritual welfare of both the giver and the receiver. The well-being of our community and its members is of the utmost importance. Imagine the joy and positivity we will create as we all work together at the same time for the common cause of doing good. Join us!

This year, we ask all volunteers to continue to adhere to the current safety guidelines of our community and our partners. Choose “low contact, high impact” with projects which allow you to “do-it-yourself” (Independent Volunteer Opportunities) where (home, park, neighborhood), how, and with whom you are most comfortable; as well as a limited number of traditional project sites which allow for physical-distancing within groups. You choose your volunteer experience!

As always, volunteers will receive a free HOTC t-shirt and free lunch, plus this year qualified volunteers will get a chance to win 4 Disney Tickets FREE as thanks for being a community of volunteers!
