In response to the pandemic, Boston Cares has worked with our community partners to identify ways volunteers can support local needs from the safety of their own homes. Opportunities include DIY projects at home, virtual/phone support, tutoring, and capacity building roles, with more needs being added regularly.
Boston Cares’s signature calendar program provides opportunities for volunteers to sign up to serve at projects that fit their interests and availability on a flexible basis. Visit www.bostoncares.org/calendar to see and search opportunities by location, impact area, age requirements, and more.
During the school year we need groups to help us build weekend food bags. These bags will be distributed on a weekly basis to elementary age children that are at extreme risk and do not have access to enough healthy food on days they are not in school such as weekends and vacation weeks.
The constant flow of donations makes the Thrift Shop a busy and exciting place to volunteer. Most volunteers find their own niche at the shop, be it sorting clothes, displaying items, marking housewares, helping at the register or keeping the shop appearance appealing to our customers.
You can teach your children about giving back when you make a holiday giving basket and put an item to donate to the Food Pantry aside for each day of your holiday celebration.
Are you looking for ways to have your group or children give back? If so, your family or group can volunteer to purchase and prepare snack bags for children right here in our community.
