Mother House is a Boulder-based organization that helps young mothers with a place to live, motherhood training and nurturing during their pregnancy and beyond. In the last 20 years, Mother House has helped hundreds of at-risk women through their pregnancies, offering education assistance skills training and more.
The director of Mother House identified several volunteer opportunities for us. In the next year they are also looking to remodel their kitchen, and will be seeking grants to help fund this important project.
Gift wrapping at Christmas: MH is currently searching for a Boulder business that will allow them to come in and wrap gifts over the holidays for donations. Once this is established, MH will need volunteers for 3-4 hour shifts over the course of a week to help wrap the gifts.
Group clean up project: The MH house is always in need of maintenance and clean-up, and they often have groups come in for a few hours on a Saturday to plant flowers or rake leaves. This would be a great day to schedule for the spring!
Mentoring as a Big Sis: MH is always in need of women who can serve as friends and mentors to the girls in the house. Big Sis’s can go with a girl to prenatal doctor’s visits, serve as a birthing partner, or simply take their girls out to lunch once in awhile. Each Big Sis relationship is different, and can be dictated by the two women’s needs and preferences.
Fundraiser assistance: MH runs several big fundraisers each year that can use volunteers to help serve food, sell tickets, set up silent auctions, etc. The Art & Wine Tasting Event happens each April, and the Golf Tournament takes place in July.
Supply donations: Because of the nature of the Mother House organization, they are consistently in need of supplies (from diapers to cleaning supplies to paper and pens). Donations in any form are greatly appreciated.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities, contact Coreen Schmidt at [email protected] or 303.447.9602.
