Have a Hart Day (HAHD) Boston Seeks Volunteers!

Have a Hart Day Boston (HAHD Boston), the Boston chapter of the international volunteer organization Have a Hart Day, will be entering its third year under the direction of Westwood woman Heather T. Ford*. HAHD Boston has volunteered at This Star Won’t Go Out’s Gala at Marina Bay in Quincy, and the Greater Boston Food Bank’s Warehouse and its Somerville Mobile Market.

Have a Hart Day Boston has been run by Westwood woman Heather T. Ford since July 2016. Its volunteers come from all over the Boston metro area and range in age from teenagers to forty-somethings.

Have a Hart Day Boston is the Boston chapter of the volunteer organization Have a Hart Day. Have a Hart Day is an organization with chapters throughout the world. In 2013, Youtuber Hannah Hart, then best known for her series “My Drunk Kitchen,” toured the country in her “Hello Harto” tour. At each tour stop, she would hold volunteer events. Some areas continued these volunteer events, and Have a Hart Day was born.

In order to join Have a Hart Day Boston, volunteers need to be above the age of sixteen. It is not required to show up for every event. Each event is about 2.5 hours. By sending an email to HAHDBoston@gmail.com, a person may get information about upcoming HAHD Boston events-the next event will be on September 22. Another good source of information is https://hahdboston.wordpress.com/, from which links to the group’s Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram may be found.
