CDC recommends that people wear masks in public settings, like on public and mass transportation, at events and gatherings, and anywhere they will be around other people.

At Boca Helping Hands, we require all staff, volunteers, and clients to wear masks and abide by social distancing guidelines in compliance with the recommendations set forth by the CDC. Additionally, we have enhanced our cleaning protocols and undergo regular temperature checks.

Boca Helping Hands provides limited, financial assistance to qualifying Boca Raton residents in crisis. At this time, there are no appointments or in person meetings due to COVID-19.  We will, however, be facilitating screenings for financial emergencies and the Children’s Assistance Program (CAP) once required documentation has been delivered via email communication.

Due to COVID-19 operations, not all of our typical volunteer opportunities are available. Please contact our Volunteer Program Manager Denise Furr for more information or click here. 

We ask that you refrain from volunteering if you are exhibiting any COVID-19, cold or flu symptoms or have traveled to any infected hotspots in the last few weeks.
