Greetings!

HGRM helps others make a home through the work of our many volunteers.  We are very fortunate to have the time and talents of so many people of all ages who want to help others while having fun.  Many of you work at the facility with donors or clients, serving as the friendly face of HGRM to those who give items and those who receive items.  These jobs are the core of HGRM's mission and work.  Did you know that there are some other jobs behind the scenes with openings for the right person?

  • Donations Appointment Making: Return phone calls from donors to arrange pickup of furniture and household items. Flexible timing throughout the day at your home or office. Mondays.
  • Client Appointment Making:  Make appointments for clients via email & phone with HGRM's referring agencies. Wednesdays 1-4 PM. 
  • Administrative assistance / reception: Answer incoming phone calls and refer to others or answer questions, carry out various administrative tasks. Various shifts.

 

Whether you have a friend who would be interested, or you might want to do one of these jobs yourself, please ask me any questions you have. 

 


Thanks for all you do,

Jo-Ann

A Fun Way to Help HGRM!

Blues&BrewsThe Westford Rotary Club's very popular Summerfest is also an opportunity to help HGRM.  As a primary beneficiary, we need to provide 12 (3-5 hour) shifts of volunteer time to assist with the many jobs at the festival on Sat & Sun, Aug 18 &19 at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford.  More than 12 volunteers are better as those beneficiaries who have shown extra effort will be recognized if there are higher proceeds than anticipated.
