My Brother's Keeper is a Christian volunteer ministry that delivers food, furniture, and Christmas gifts to local families in need. Our mission is "to bring the love and hope of Jesus Christ to those we serve." At the conclusion of each furniture delivery, our staff provides the family with a crucifix with the message "We're just the delivery people, this is the man who sent you the furniture." We are the only organization south of Boston to provide furniture assistance via delivery. We have more than 2,000 volunteers, including several hundred students, that assist our 6-person staff. Together we make 6,500 deliveries each year.


 * Service Opportunity:** Students would assist with a number of tasks depending on when they are able to volunteer. Tasks range from making food and furniture deliveries, to wrapping and delivering Christmas gifts, to assisting our staff with picking up furniture donations.

Special Considerations: Volunteers who are making deliveries would need to be capable of carrying items up and down stairs although the ability to lift heavy items is not required. Volunteers should wear clothing that is comfortable and weather appropriate. No open-toed shoes or sandals.
