Volunteers Needed – Pregnancy Help Program

Posted on September 9, 2011 | Comments Off on Volunteers Needed – Pregnancy Help Program

We need volunteers for the Pregnancy Help Program, an outreach service to women and families experiencing crisis pregnancies. The program offers new baby clothes, a counseling staff and help with locating jobs and housing for those families facing financial crisis. The volunteer commitment involves taking baby items from the Natick office and delivering them to the Brighton office near St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. Typically this is done on alternate Thursdays since the clients visit the office on Fridays. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Pat Kelleher at 781-237-4616.
