Hands-On-Orlando plans, manages and leads volunteer and corporate team building projects. They help the homeless and hungry, children, at-risk families, seniors, veterans, women, the environment, animals and so much more.

Hands-On-Orlando has served with more than 200,000 volunteers. They have helped over 300 non-profits like Welbourne, public schools and parks and more than one million people across Central Florida.

Welbourne is open five-days from 7:00AM until 6:00PM, serves 750 meals per week to its children, provides free dental care, optometric care, kindness/family counseling, and Nemours Telemedicine.
