Trucks and vans are recommended. Pickup at Walmart, drop off at the Pantry.

If you can spare 2 to 12 weeks, Lend a hand International has volunteer placements with locally-led, community-based initiatives in south central Uganda. The organizations we work with provide primary education, community empowerment, public health services, and modern agriculture techniques in their own communities. They support real people – improving their lives, on their terms.

Bring in 10 – 20 prizes and play bingo with our residents; this is their favorite activity! Bingo prizes can be a wide variety of items, visit a Dollar Tree for some great deals and/or check out our Amazon List for ideas/purchase items.

Pick up groceries for our congregate living facilities. The person will need to first pick up a credit card in Jamaica Plain then drive to Costco and back to Jamaica Plain to drop off groceries.

We have missed our volunteers so any sort of games or just general companionship is welcome. You could do a walk through the park, play games, perform your talent, or do arts and crafts. The possibilities are endless!

Singing, playing an instrument, manicure skills, for example, are all ways to bring joy to HCP residents. School choral groups or small music ensembles always welcome.

Assist our families during the holidays or to help new residents get settled in their home.

Assist HCP in promoting awareness of HCP. Be on call to help us stuff envelopes, get out a mailing, assist with newsletter production, or even work with us on video editing/production projects for web and social media content. We have many needs in this area!
