Volunteer
Volunteers are one of Housing Families' most vital resources. Our volunteers can participate in a variety of activities including tutoring children, providing childcare, facilitating workshops for adults, moving furniture and other household items for families, helping to paint and repair housing units, or organizing successful fundraising and gift drives.
Your energy, talent, and experience can improve kids' school performance, spruce up a shelter unit, furnish an apartment, or help us raise the funds we need. It's fun and satisfying and you WILL make a difference!
For information on volunteering with children, please call Artemis Hamrick at 781-322-9119 x33 to learn more or email ahamrick@housingfamilies.org.

ebay MissionFish
ebay has developed a program called Missionfish. It encourages eBay sellers to donate a portion of their profits to a nonprofit organization of their choice. Housing Families has joined this wonderful program.
Here's how it works: once you decide to sell an item on ebay, you can donate a percentage of the profit by choosing Housing Families from a list of registered charities. It's easy and fast, and your donation is 100% tax deductible. To sell an item on behalf of Housing Families, click on the ebay link on this page.
