Are you ready for hands-on activism? We are seeking volunteers to join our Truck Team on a weekend day and help to pick up donations of furniture and household items throughout the region for the families A Wider Circle serves. Each day, A Wider Circle furnishes roughly 20 homes free of charge for individuals and families who may be transitioning out of shelters, escaping domestic violence, or otherwise living without these basic need items. We ask that Truck Team volunteers are at least 18 years old, strong enough to carry half of a sleeper sofa, and able to commit to a full day of volunteering (9:00 am - 5:30 pm on Saturday or 11:00 am - 5:30 pm). Opportunities are available seven days a week. If you are interested in this opportunity, please email volunteer@awidercircle.org!

About A Wider Circle

Mission Statement
This mission of A Wider Circle is simple: to end poverty for one individual and one family after another
Description
A Wider Circle is a 501(c)(3) grassroots nonprofit organization that provides holistic support to families in need. We furnish the homes of children and adults who are transitioning out of domestic violence or homeless shelters, or who are simply living without what most of us take for granted - beds, dressers, sheets, towels, and other basic need items. We offer educational programs on topics ranging from job skills and money management to stress management and other life skills. We also provide wrap-around support to those seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce, including professional attire, education, and one-on-one support. We work with the most vulnerable among us, and we do whatever we can do to help them move toward stability and independence.
