      *POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER. PLEASE CONTACT Dana Molina IF INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING IN THE FUTURE.*

      Housing Initiatives of Princeton Charitable Trust (HIP) envisions the Princeton area as a diverse community where low-income families thrive with secure housing, employment, and education.  While providing transitional housing and temporary rental assistance, HIP equips families with tools for self-sufficiency, acting as a bridge between homelessness and hope.

      HIP has a warehouse of furniture and supplies for the families we support when transitioning into a new home.  This project will be a "spring cleaning" to inventory and sort what's in the warehouse to better serve the families HIP supports.

      Volunteers should wear clothes that can get dirty. Recommended age is 13+. Parking is available on site.

      Add to Calendar 2024-05-11T09:00:00 2024-05-11T13:00:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: NJ, Sandy Hook Beach The Littoral Society promotes the study and conservation of marine life and habitat, protects the coast from harm, and empowers others to do the same. We are still in discussion with our contacts there, but we would be involved with helping care for a rain garden (rain gardens ensure that polluted road run-off during rainstorms won't end up in the ocean) OR helping to count horseshoe crabs. Preparation needs will depend on the specific project, but it will involve physical activity and will be open to all ages. Regardless of site, parking will be available. false
