Hands On Atlanta Week 2025 in Review!
What a week to remember! Hands On Atlanta Week 2025 proved, once again, that when Atlantans come together with purpose, amazing things happen.
In partnership with The Same House and their Beloved Benefit Beneficiaries, this year’s Hands On Atlanta Week (October 4 - 11, 2025) brought people from every corner of our city to serve side by side — building connections, transforming spaces, and spreading love through action.
7 Days of Service, 1 Powerful Impact
Over just seven days, volunteers powered 8 marquee projects, supported 320+ community projects, and dedicated more than 5,000 hours of service. Together, that’s an estimated $165,505.40 in volunteer time value, a tangible reflection of Atlanta’s collective care and commitment to making a difference.
From revitalizing parks and schools to supporting local nonprofits and community events, every hour spent made a meaningful mark. And beyond the numbers, the energy was contagious, full of smiles, teamwork, and a shared belief that small actions can spark big change.
The Power of Partnership
Our partnership with The Same House and the Beloved Benefit community brought a powerful focus on equity, connection, and belonging. These collaborations highlight what’s possible when organizations, businesses, and neighbors unite around a shared vision of service. Meet the Beloved Benefit Beneficiaries below!

A Big Thank You to Our Volunteers
To everyone who rolled up their sleeves, invited friends, shared photos, and spread the word, thank you. Your impact reaches far beyond this week. You’ve shown what “Hands On Atlanta” truly means: love for our city in action, community in motion.
As we look ahead, let’s keep that spirit alive. Every project, every hour, every act of service moves Atlanta closer to the kind of city we all believe in — one where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
