FamilyAid Boston occasionally seeks volunteer groups for projects at our affordable housing buildings. Opportunities may include: painting, cleaning, and yardwork.
Opportunities include sorting non perishable food that is still safe to eat so we can distribute the food to organizations serving people in need; assisting at fundraisers and reaching out to the public at local events. These activities may be appropriate for children over 8 years old and groups.
