We are looking for people to take on special projects typically involving poverty research, event planning, communications and database update. Most of the work can be done from home with monthly or weekly meetings with other committee members. Example projects include publishing newsletter and facebook communications about local food drives and volunteer needs; updating a regional database of ways to find social services help, finding speakers for and promoting monthly discussions about local poverty, assembling and analyzing published information about local poverty, maintaining our wordpress website, planning and implementing our major fundraising event of the year. Working with the board in this capacity is a path to joining the board.

Mission Statement
Pennies for Poverty is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to ease the impact of poverty on the people of Greater Newburyport by endorsing models of assistance that promote dignity, supporting allied organizations both financially and collaboratively, increasing community awareness of poverty through citizen education, and inspiring and encouraging volunteerism.
Description
Pennies for Poverty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in 2008 with the belief that if everyone in the community does a little to help those in need, we can substantially reduce poverty and improve the well being of all members of the community. The original mantra for the organization was "2 Cents, 2 Cans, 2 Hours, Together." That is, everyone should put aside 2 cents a day and 2 cans a week and volunteer 2 hours a month so that together we reduce poverty.
