Massachusetts Military Support Foundation

Massachusetts Military Support Foundation

Massachusetts Military Support Foundation is currently seeking volunteers to work setting packing and boxing non-perishable food items at our warehouse (208 North Street, Foxboro.) We have opportunities on weekdays as well as weekends for groups and individuals alike. Interested volunteers can sign up for shifts by visiting www.mmsfi.org. Directions to the facility are provided there as well.

The packing process is purposefully designed to address all precautions recommended to address COVID 19. There are multiple stations which you may be assigned to work based on your preference, physical ability and the number of volunteers available for each shift. There will at all times be a shift supervisor to provide instructions and answer questions.

In addition, there will be volunteer opportunities to support our “Back to School” program in which we will be packing backpacks with school supplies for children of Veterans and active-duty Military. More information coming soon.
For everyone’s protection we will be conducting a health screening/questionnaire prior to anyone entering the facility. Please contact Donna Bulger at dbulger@clearpathne.org.

Hunger Free America

Hunger Free America

Virtual Opportunity: COVID-19 Food Assistance Project – Volunteers are needed to verify emergency food site information across the nation. Many sites have changed operations and hours due to COVID-19, volunteers are ascertaining these changes and updating our database via a survey form. Volunteers should be moderately comfortable using web technology and speaking over the phone. The results are freely available to the public by request, via an electronic mapping tool, and the USDA Hunger Hotline. Having accurate data means a hungry family can find an open pantry near them at any time.
