Volunteer FAQs

1. Are there any qualifications for volunteers?
   1. There are no specific skills needed except a high degree of confidentiality.  While volunteers won't typically be working directly with families, you might see or hear something personal.  We urge you to keep any and all information you may see or hear to yourself and give families the privacy they deserve.
2. Can children volunteer?
   1. We do have some jobs children can help with as long as they are supervised by an adult.  Handing out meals require a person 18 years or older and no longer a student at New Milford Public Schools. 
3. Will I be able to get verification of my community service hours?
   1. Absolutely!  We will be happy to provide you with a letter documenting your volunteer hours or sign a form you may have.
4. Are my donations tax deductible?
   1. We are in the process of obtaining our 501(c)3 status.  Until that time, we encourage you to make donations through the Town of New Milford Social Services Department.
