My Brother's Keeper Looking for a way to live out your call to discipleship and make an impact in the community? Deliver furniture and groceries to those most in need (Note: opportunity available during daytime hours only). My Brother's Keeper in Easton, Massachusetts is an organization which views "service as a privilege and a joy, not an obligation", and they are looking for volunteers like you! Schedule your service visit by calling (508) 238–7512 and speaking with one of their volunteer coordinators to set up the date and time that works best for you. They also offer a Christmas Program where you can select and wrap gifts and deliver them to families in need (Note: opportunity available nights and weekends in mid-Nov to mid-December).

Birthday Wishes Birthday in a Box Program for children and families who celebrate birthdays while living in local area shelters. Who doesn't love to celebrate a birthday? Well, for thousands of unhoused children throughout the New England and New York areas living in shelters, celebrating a birthday would not be possible without the generous volunteers from the Birthday Wishes organization. Based in Natick, Massachusetts and Long Island, NY, this organization depends on the generosity of others to collect much needed donation items to create a fun-filled birthday party in a box which is then delivered to the shelter to share with the birthday child and their family. Birthday kits include everything you'd need to throw the perfect birthday bash: from themed cups, plates and table covers to cake mix and baking tins, streamers and balloons, and finally-- a special gift just for the birthday child!
This project will be offered twice this year, in the Fall/Winter and in the Spring. Dates TBD.
