HGRM Volunteer Orientation

Have you been thinking about getting involved in an organization that helps people in need? Are you interested in meeting some great people? Can you lift half a couch? HGRM, Household Goods Recycling of Massachusetts, Inc., is a nonprofit organization based in Acton looking for new volunteers. Come learn what HGRM is all about! New Volunteer orientations are now scheduled for 12:30 on Saturdays November 2nd and 16th. 

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.


HGRM volunteers are at the core of HGRM and no prior experience is necessary. 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 Street, 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 three 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 an upcoming volunteer orientation, visit www. HGRM.org or email Bob Van Emburgh at Bob@HGRM.org or call 978-635-1710 ext. 6.
