Volunteer
We could not operate without volunteers! There are so many options - choose what you enjoy and let us know.
HHMD is run almost entirely by compassionate volunteers who commit more than 200 hours per month to HHMD. If opportunities in any of these areas interest you, please send us an e-mail through our Contact page telling us about yourself and how you would like to contribute.
donation COLLECTION
HHMD receives donations of gently-used clothing, supplies and baby gear from local families, resale shops & consignment sales. In many cases, HHMD needs volunteers to pick up these donations.
Donation Pickup Volunteer - Responsible for picking up donated items from partner resale shops, homes and/or large consignment sales in the Greater St. Louis area & delivering them to HHMD. Days and times are flexible.
SORTING & PACKING
We sort incoming donations by gender & size and ensure all items are in good condition. These items are then packed into boxes to be provided to families.
Sorting & Packing Volunteers – Responsible for sorting incoming donated items at our warehouse and/or packing boxes to be picked up by families or delivered to agencies.

If our referring agencies have storage space, we can deliver boxes to their location on a monthly basis for them to distribute to the appropriate families. We also deliver furniture such as beds, couches, and dressers directly to families in need.
