WHAT IS IT?
SingleServe is a NEW community service group
through HandsOn Northeast Georgia that facilitates
monthly service projects for singles to volunteer
for nonprofits.
Rather than committing to a single cause,
SingleServe will reach out to a myriad of charitable
groups and give participants the chance to
experience a variety of area community service
organizations.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN?
If you care about your community, and you want to
make it a better place to live and work. If you’re
looking for a way to connect to other singles, to
make friends and to have a good time. If you think
that every contribution someone makes can make a
difference.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We will facilitate a monthly service project for an
area nonprofit through the Community Connection
network of agencies. We will serve a variety of
causes, do all kinds of projects, get to know one
another, and make a difference.
