It Takes a Village maintains the "Village Closet", a donation and distribution site full of donated baby and kids' clothes, maternity clothing, and baby gear. All items are free to anyone in the Western Mass community.
We often need volunteers to pick up items from the Village Closet or from one of our local volunteers and deliver them to the families who lack transportation. Also, if someone is donating a large item (like a crib), we sometimes need help picking up donations from around the Hilltowns and Pioneer Valley.
Volunteers will need a valid drivers license, proof of auto insurance, and good communication skills (you may need to call or text with the family you are delivering to).
Work would be on an as-needed basis, perhaps 1 hour per week.
If you want to get involved with It Takes a Village and make a difference for families today, please fill out an application at our website: https://bit.ly/3gB41sw
Our Village Closet Coordinator will contact you with more info!
