The gift of your time can also make a tremendous impact for Cambridge Health Alliance. Listed below are some Ways to be Involved:
Volunteer
There are numerous volunteer opportunities at CHA. We have several events where you can help protect and improve the health of all, with a special focus on underserved populations in our communities. Examples of opportunities include:
- Revere Produce Market – a free market for hundreds of food insecure families that we hold at our Revere facility on the first Saturday of each month.
- Healthcare for the Homeless – help bring services and supportive resources directly to the homeless in Cambridge and Somerville.
- In addition, helping hands are always needed at our key fundraising events, especially our annual Art of Healing Gala in June and our annual CHA Invitational Golf Tournament in September.
Or if you have a free afternoon, come volunteer in the foundation office - there is always something to do. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please reach out Lauren Dorn-Jones at the Foundation to see what opportunities are available. Email Lauren at ldornjones@challiance.org or call her at 617-591-4765.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
COVID highlighted the need for personal protective equipment not only for our staff, but also for our patients, as we battle the pandemic and other communicable diseases at CHA. We accept donations of masks, gloves, gowns, sanitizer, face shields, and other items that protect caregivers and the people we care for. To donate items please contact Lucia Kmiec at lkmiec@challiance.org or 617-591-4947.
Donate Auction Items
We hold live and silent auctions at both Art of Healing and the CHA Invitational Golf Tournament. Auction items are always needed for both events and all proceeds from the auctions support our dozens of community-based programs that address social determinants of health and promote health equity in the communities we serve. To donate Auction Items email Lauren Dorn-Jones at ldornjones@challiance.org or call her at 617-591-4765.
Join a Committee
All of our activities and events require planning and preparation. If you’d like to help us ensure that our activities and events are the best they can be, consider joining a committee as a way of lending support to our patients and our communities. To join a committee, email Lauren Dorn-Jones at ldornjones@challiance.org or call her at 617-591-4765.
Host a House Party
The CHA Foundation will work with you to host a small fundraising event in your home. We will join you to tell our story and inform your invitees about the various ways they can support CHA efforts to bring quality healthcare to our communities and our vulnerable populations. If you are interested in hosting a House Party, please contact David Sternburg at dsternburg@challiance.org or 617-591-4059.
