HGRM Volunteer Orientation

HGRM (Household Goods Recycling of MA) is a nonprofit organization based in Acton looking for new volunteers. Come learn what HGRM is all about. Volunteer orientations are being offered Wednesdays Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 at 12:30.

Volunteers are instrumental in accomplishing HGRM's mission of collecting gently used furniture and household goods and supplying them free of charge, in cooperation with community agencies, to people in need. In 2012, close to 800 volunteers helped nearly 3,000 families across Massachusetts make a home. 

Volunteers assist donors who come to drop off furniture and household goods, and they help families in need select furniture and household goods in HGRM's showroom (530 Main St., Acton). Volunteers also drive HGRM trucks to pick up donations, load and unload household goods, repair furniture, help with office work, PR, and fundraising.

Whether you want to spend 3 hours a month or a day a week, we invite you to join our team. To learn more about volunteering at HGRM or to sign up for a volunteer orientation, visit www.HGRM.org, email Bob Van Emburgh at bob@HGRM.org, or call 978-635-1710 ext. 6.
