Hands Of Hope For The Community

About Volunteering​

From the very beginning, volunteers have been an integral part of all that we do in our communities. Hands Of Hope (HOH) was started by volunteers and volunteers continue to be involved throughout all our operations.  We would like to thank you for your interest in supporting the work we do in Middlesex County & beyond!​ We want to ensure that the safety and ease of mind of our volunteer partners are addressed. We suggest all volunteers exercise safe and healthy judgment in determining their attendance at HOH activities and events. All weekday volunteers must be scheduled in advance. We cannot accept walk-ins during the week. We require all our volunteers to register ahead of time using our online portal.
