Connecting young people and adults in neighborhood volunteering is the unique focus of JOIN HANDS DAY.
Held annually on the first Saturday in May, this national volunteer day calls upon all Americans, to reach across generations, break down age barriers and work with new friends in identifying and fixing problem conditions in their communities.
Each year, Catholic Knights' branches partner with other volunteer and youth groups to organize JOIN HANDS DAY projects. In 2008, 56 branches helped improve their communities by sponsoring a JOIN HANDS DAY activity. These projects included conducting food drives, planting flowers at community parks and visiting residents at nursing homes.
JOIN HANDS DAY is a national event sponsored by America's fraternal benefit societies.
