Welcome to HandsOn Willamette!

After careful consideration, HandsOn Linn Benton and our counterpart to the north, HandsOn Mid-Willamette Valley, have made the decision to join forces and become HandsOn Willamette. Similar missions and a united goal to help volunteers flex their amazing muscles throughout the community made this a very easy decision for all involved.

So what does this mean for you? Well not very much will change. You will still have access to the wide variety of service opportunities on the HandsOn website. You will still be able to track your volunteer hours in your HandsOn account. However, you will need to update your bookmarks! HandsOn’s web address has changed to www.HandsOnW.org. You now will also see opportunities across Linn, Benton, Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties. All of your volunteer opportunities, connections and service records are saved there. You just need to reset your password to access your volunteer account. Enter your username in the Login box in the top right corner and click “Forgot Password.” A temporary password will be emailed to you. If you happen to have a HandsOn account with HandsOn Linn Benton and HandsOn Mid-Willamette Valley, let us know! We can merge the two together to make it easier for you to be a volunteer superhero spanning the valley.

Thank you for your support of HandsOn Linn Benton over the years. We are so excited to see what the coming years will bring as HandsOn Willamette. If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to drop us a line. We are here for YOU, the volunteer!
