In-Person Opportunities

Kit Assembler Volunteers

Our kit assembly events are where the spirit of Grace Helping Hands truly shines. Volunteers of all ages come together to pack hygiene kits filled with care, purpose, and dignity.

We meet monthly to assemble these kits, which are then distributed throughout Maryland. Event details are shared two weeks in advance through our newsletter, website, and social media — and this opportunity is eligible for Student Service Learning (SSL) hours.

These events are hands-on, rewarding, and filled with community connection. Spend a day with us and see your time make a direct impact.

Kit Distribution Volunteers

Each distribution event is held in partnership with shelters and outreach organizations such as City of Refuge Baltimore, Progress Place, Helping Up Mission, and Shepherd’s Table.

Volunteers help unload, organize, and distribute kits — often alongside meal programs, health screenings, or clothing drives hosted by our partners. Together, we ensure that every individual receives their kit with care and dignity in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.

These roles are perfect for individuals, families, or groups who want to serve hands-on in the community. They involve direct participation in events, outreach, and physical kit assembly or distribution. All positions are eligible for SSL hours; great for schools, faith groups, or corporate teams.

Remote Opportunities

These roles are ideal for those who prefer flexible, online work from home. You can make a lasting impact through writing, communication, coordination, or digital support. All roles are virtual, with a time commitment of 3-6 hours a week, regular check-ins, and team collaboration via Microsoft Teams.

This role is ideal for someone who’s tech-savvy and organized. User Management Volunteers help coordinate internal systems by managing volunteer accounts, email access, and communication tools. Your attention to detail helps our teams collaborate smoothly and stay connected.
