10. Horizons for Homeless Children
This nonprofit focuses exclusively on the needs of young homeless children in Massachusetts. Throughout the year, they look for volunteers to spend two hours a week at one of their “Playspaces’’ across the state. For the holidays, they’re looking for donations of Play-Doh, construction paper, and other items listed online.
