Join Us for Thoughtful Thursdays!
Are you looking to make a difference in your community? Thoughtful Thursdays offer a variety of community service opportunities to suit your interests and talents!

What We Offer: On the 1st and 3rd Thursday, between 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM (dates and times may vary), you can participate in activities at various locations, including Community Giving Tree, Lazarus House, Bread and Roses, Atria Senior Living, and One Wish Project. Our projects include:
  • Crafts and Activities for Children: Host and run engaging activities and crafts for young kids, bringing smiles to their faces.
  • Meal Preparation and Service: Help make and serve dinner to families in need, providing a warm meal and a sense of community.
  • Donation Sorting and Organization: Lend a hand in sorting and organizing donation goods to ensure they reach those who need them most.
  • Share Your Talents: Do you play an instrument, have a special skill, or love working with seniors? 
Whether you play the piano, guitar, or any other instrument, this is your chance to perform for an appreciative audience. Choose calming and uplifting pieces that resonate with our residents.

Please contact me directly to coordinate available open dates to join. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring joy and connection through the power of music. Plan to connect with me beforehand to review logistics, instrument, and song choice.

  • Collection Drives: Andover Youth Services (AYS) will also be hosting collection drives, so stay tuned for opportunities to donate items to those in need.
Special Leadership Opportunities: For those interested in taking on a leadership role, we offer special community service projects specifically for our leadership groups. If you’re interested in joining a leadership group, please contact Robin Del Negro at robin.delnegro@andoverma.us.

Why Participate? Not only is this a great way to give back to your community, but it also counts towards school-required volunteer hours. Plus, it's a rewarding experience that allows you to connect with others and make a positive impact.

Disclaimer: Please note that registration and a transportation waiver are required to participate. You must create or sign into your MyRec account to complete the sign-up process. Participants under 18 will need a parent to confirm the waiver.
Join us for Thoughtful Thursdays and be part of something bigger than yourself!
