Give Back To Your Community Today
Support local bereaved families in Massachusetts who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss.
Be a volunTEAR and support local families! We need help planning events, brainstorming new fundraising ideas, community outreach, social media presence, and spreading awareness
to break the stigma of pregnancy and infant loss. We are always looking for new volunteers to join us!
You do not have to be a bereaved parent to participate; any one is welcome to attend.
Many volunTEARS donate their time in support of a loved one who has lost a child.
Some examples of activities and tasks we need fulfilled throughout the year:
· Take meeting minutes and sharing with all volunteers
· Contact local restaurants for food/beverage donations for remembrance gatherings
· Create info/support packages to share with local hospitals, OB/GYN offices, etc
· Prepare programs, crafts, and materials for gatherings
· Distribute event fliers in community
· Research local business partners to secure sponsorships and raffle items
· Assist with marketing ideas and sharing posts on social media
· Community outreach to funeral homes, healthcare professionals, bereavement programs, etc
· Send remembrance cards to bereaved parents on anniversary dates
