Volunteer
Volunteers are essential members of the Village! Your skills can help a family as they travel the road of parenthood. See some of our volunteer opportunities below, and please reach out if you have questions or other ways to help.

Volunteer Opportunities
Home Visit Volunteers
Home Visit volunteers provide hands-on support to families with new babies in Hilltowns, reducing isolation and bringing the Village right to their door.
Volunteers visit the family every week for two hours, for up to 12 weeks during the first year of a baby’s (or babies’) life. Volunteers provide companionship, play with older children, prepare meals, wash dishes, and help in other ways that an extended family member or neighbor might. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to join us.
Village Closet Volunteers
The Village Closet donation and distribution center in Huntington, MA is full of free baby and children’s clothing, diapers, and essential supplies.
Village Closet volunteers sort donations, organize the space, work with families, and gather critical supplies for clients lacking transportation or in crisis.
Donation Delivery Drivers
Sometimes Village Closet items need a little extra help getting from point A to point B.
Drivers support the Village Closet and Home Visit program by picking up donations and delivering critical supplies to families lacking transportation. Drivers choose what area they are willing to drive to, and sometimes they will meet up with other drivers to get items to their final destination.

Outreach and Administrative Volunteers
We can’t support families if they don’t know about us! Help spread the word!
