Masks are optional at all locations. Under the updated guidance, more than 70% of the US population is in a location with low or medium COVID-19 community levels. For those areas (such as Palm Beach County), there is no recommendation for indoor masking unless you are at potential "increased risk" for COVID-19 and if so, the CDC recommends talking to your health care provider about wearing a mask.

Questions? Please contact our Volunteer Manager Tara Currier at Tara@BocaHelpingHands.org.

Boca Helping Hands provides limited, financial assistance to qualifying 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 Tara Currier 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.  

At this time we are not conducting group orientation sessions due to COVID-19 restrictions for social distancing. In lieu of orientation, please view the orientation videos.
