You will have the opportunity to connect community members to vital suicide prevention materials, hand out free mental health awareness swag, and create a space where people can share hope with one another. Supporters will be invited to add a post it note to the "Hope Wall" with positive mental health messaging, a joyful drawing, or the name of a loved one who is being honored or remembered.

Sandy has been so busy being the primary caregiver of everyone else the last three decades that she has not been able to focus on the maintenance of the exterior of her trailer.  She also does not have an exterior water source that would allow someone to hook up a power washer.  


 


We are looking for a fairy god mother with a mobile power washing service to clean this siding and slippery stairs.

Sandy has not been able to see out her front bay windows of her single-wide trailer in decades.    At this point, they are too overwhelming a task of someone her age, stature and capabilities to tackle.


She needs a dream team to spruce up the place and bring her into the light.

📦 Behind-the-Scenes Heroes Needed at Morgan Storage


Ever wonder what it takes to bring Special Olympics New Hampshire events to life? Spoiler alert: it starts right here.


We’re looking for hands-on, detail-loving, get-it-done volunteers to join us at our Morgan Storage units in Manchester. This is where the gears turn, the bins get sorted, and the groundwork is laid for unforgettable competitions, celebrations, and athlete moments across the state.


What you’ll be doing:




  • Organizing and sorting equipment, supplies, and event materials




  • Inventorying items so we know exactly what we have (and where it lives)




  • Prepping materials for upcoming events, games, and programs




  • Helping create order out of chaos so our athletes can shine front and center




Why this matters:
Every cone stacked, box labeled, and checklist completed helps power competitions, trainings, and experiences for athletes across New Hampshire. You may not be on the field or at the finish line—but your impact shows up everywhere.


Who this is perfect for:




  • Volunteers who love organizing and checking things off a list ✔️




  • Folks who enjoy teamwork and tangible results




  • Anyone who wants to support the mission in a meaningful, behind-the-scenes way




  • Individuals or small groups looking for a flexible, productive volunteer experience




No special skills required—just a positive attitude, willingness to help, and a desire to be part of something bigger. Comfortable clothes recommended… superhero capes optional. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️


 


Come help us set the stage for incredible moments. The athletes may never see the storage unit—but they’ll feel the impact of your work every step of the way.
