Boston Have a Hart Day (HAHD) continues to volunteer throughout the Boston area. It is led by Westwood’s Heather T. Ford*, who is also the Volunteer Coordinator for the international Have a Hart Day organization.

HAHD Boston’s March event will take place on March 23 at the Great Boston Food Bank’s Warehouse. Its May event is on May 11 and will take place at one of the GBFB’s Mobile Markets in Somerville. On June 30, HAHD Boston will be aiding at the annual gala for This Star Won't Go Out.

Have a Hart Day is an international volunteer organization that Youtuber, podcaster, and New York Times best-selling author Hannah Hart founded. Hart's eponymous 2013 "Hello Harto" tour included a service project at each stop throughout the United States. Boston's stop held a food drive for the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB). HAHD Boston volunteered at the GBFB in 2014 and 2015. In March of 2016, the current captain took leadership and since then HAHDBoston has volunteered at the GBFB on a monthly basis.
