Invaluable Volunteers: Hearth's 2009 Volunteer Appreciation Reception

Wednesday, April 39, 2009 • 6:30 pm - 8:00pm • 25 Ruggles Street, Roxbury, MA

Central to Hearth's mission to end elder homelessness is the idea of community. Having newly housed elders reestablish a sense of community is key component to their success. Volunteers greatest contribution to Hearth is providing that sense of community.
