Great Volunteer Opportunity for Families!

The Massachusetts March of Dimes is looking for families to volunteer as Retail Ambassador Families to assist with relationship development at each of our retail partners, Kmart, Hess, Famous Footwear, and Circle K.  These retailers raise money for the Foundation primarily by selling “cut-out” or “pin-ups” at the cash register. In Massachusetts, our retail partners fundraise this way in campaigns that last from two to twelve weeks, depending on the retailer. We would like to have families “adopt” a store or two in their area and visit it once or twice (shorts visits that will last anywhere from 5-15 minutes) during that store’s March of Dimes campaign. The MA Chapter will provide each family with postcards with your family’s story and photographs to pass out at your store or stores. This is a great opportunity to increase awareness of the March of Dimes mission for these retail partners by having our mission families visit their stores.

Many of the campaigns run during our March for Babies season, although some do run in the fall, such as Circle K’s Pumpkin campaign. We need many families throughout Massachusetts to help with this exciting initiative. If you are interested in being a Retail Ambassador Family, please email me at epostl@marchofdimes.com and I can send you more info.
