Proceeds from the 2008 People Helping People Awards are invested back into community. The primary beneficiaries of the People Helping People Awards are Hands On Sacramento and 2-1-1 Sacramento

HANDS ON SACRAMENTO. Established in 1998 by the Community Services Planning Council and a group of forward-thinking community leaders, Hands On Sacramento is the region's full-service volunteer center and a committed advocate for innovative social change.

From volunteer referrals to managed projects to issue education, Hands On Sacramento works with individuals, businesses, community groups, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies to transform good intentions into good works.

Hands On Sacramento's engaging service opportunities educate individuals, inspire further volunteerism, and make an indelible impact on our community. Be the Change. Volunteer.

2-1-1 SACRAMENTO. 2-1-1 is a free, easy-to remember three-digit telephone number that enables everyone access to vital community services that they need. In March 2004, the California Public Utilities Commission approved Community Services Planning Council's designation as the 2-1-1 provider for Sacramento County. In 2008, CSPC plans to transition its current information and referral program, InfoLine Sacramento, into a 2-1-1 call center providing 24/7 services.
