Pernet Family Health Service has been serving low-come families in the Green Island neighborhood in Worcester since 1968. We offer a variety of programs including a food pantry, maternal and infant nursing, after-school programs and parent support.

With so much going on, our staff rarely has time to give to normal house-keeping. Our attic is full to the gills with so much that has been tucked away over the years, and it's taking up much-needed storage space.

Consider spending a weekday morning or afternoon or a Saturday helping us clean out our attic---you might just find some collectibles! And it will be such a help to our staff--past, present and future!

Our schedules are very flexible. Please contact us if your family, church group or company would like to send a delegation to do our dirty work!

Volunteers should be able to lift 20 lbs. and must submit to a Massachusetts CORI. Individual circumstances will be taken into consideration.
