16,000 volunteers are gearing up for a statewide volunteer day Saturday. It wraps up the weeklong Hands On Georgia community service projects across the state. This weekend's project include fixing homes damaged by the Mother's Day tornadoes in Macon this year, sorting and bagging food at the Thomas County food bank and holding a cookout in Columbus for soldiers returning from Iraq. Last year, Hands on Georgia drew 68,000 volunteers who gave nearly 200,000 hours of community service during the weeklong event.
