AIDS CARE - Bridge Volunteers
The AIDS CARE Bridge Program is still looking for
outstanding volunteers to be part of their volunteer transportation pool. Bridge
volunteers help friends & neighbors living with HIV by providing essential
transportation to medical appointments and short errands. Being a Bridge
volunteer is fun, and gives you a chance to do something very concrete to help a
person living with HIV. The time requirement is rarely more than a couple hours
a week.
To learn more about the above
programs or to volunteer contact Court Cline at 586.8288 x2

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampshire
County
Craft Fair Volunteers: The second Saturday of each July finds the Amherst Town Common
miraculously converted from a beautiful field to an amazing Craft
Fair City. We are always looking for volunteer helpers for
this one day event. Take a 2 - 3 hour shift anywhere from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Buddies Club: This group meets every Wednesday afternoon in Northampton. It
is an opportunity for the Little Brothers and Sisters who attend
the Jackson Street School to get together and enjoy all sorts
of fun activities. If you are inclined to play along with youngsters
while offering some supervision of their activities, you could
be the perfect volunteer for this group.
Program Sponsored Events: These are activities planned by the program for the Bigs and Littles to enjoy together. Some of these events include the Littles' families as well. We need help with cooking and setting up and breaking down.
Activities for Bigs and Littles: The volunteers and children who participate in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program are always looking out for great things to do. Perhaps a group you belong to would be
interested in hosting an event for Bigs and Littles to enjoy.
Free or discounted
tickets or passes can be donated, allowing the Bigs and Littles access to local events, performances, movies or restaurants. This could be the first opportunity for a Little Brother or Sister to get to see a ballet or go to a museum or to attend a concert.
Office Support: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampshire County is a small program with lots to do. Do you
have office skills or just some extra time to share? We sure could use some extra hands in the office to help with mailings, flyering, and other projects.

many projects for low-tech folks as well.
Salvage
Room: "Salvage" is food
that that is perfectly good to eat but can't be sold, often because the can or
box is dented. Volunteers inspect and sort it out in our warehouse. Weekday
and evening shifts are available.
