Where can I volunteer in Framingham, MA?

Question

My friend and I need to find a place to volunteer in or around Framingham for a class. We have talked about working at a soup kitchen for a few weeks and had our minds set on it, but it seems like we're working on such a big deadline and the people at the Salvation Army didn't pick up their phone so we're in panic mode now. Does anyone know any group - shelters, churches, etc that have soup kitchens that we can volunteer at in the area? If not, anywhere to volunteer in the area would be fantastic

URGENT REPLY NEEDED

thanks

Answer 1

Volunteer Match has worked for several people. If you had transportation, there are hundeds of places in the city, itself. I used to go to Boston U, where I was very active in the community, and I know Framingham is not that far away.

Use this link. I know it has helped others.

Try the YMCA, I think they have two branches in Framingham and they actually run a volunteer placement program. Perhaps they can give you some advice. http://www.metrowestymca.org/

Hospital or nursing homes are great places to volunteer, also tutoring at the school might be your thing. Glad to hear you a taking up the challenge!
