Our families bring in clothes they no longer need, and we are looking for volunteers to sort and organize these so they can be distributed to other families and other Catholic Charities Boston clients.

Volunteers will support the Harvest Festival, an event for families, by helping with setup/breakdown, decorations, facilitating activities, food, sign-in, etc.

We are looking for 1-2 volunteers to meet us at our shelter in Dorchester, ride with our staff in the van to the Greater Boston Food Bank, help load the monthly food order into the van, and ride back to the shelter to unload the food and organize it within the shelter pantry.

We are looking for 1 or more interns or volunteers to help us conduct intakes for new clients and to connect with returning clients who need to update their data. This role requires someone with Spanish and/or Haitian Creole language skills, along with basic computer skills.

Parking at this site is extremely limited, and we encourage volunteers to use MBTA whenever possible. If you drive, we ask that you please do not park in the building's lot during business hours.
