North Hardin HOPE seeking volunteers

A northern Hardin County charitable organization is looking for a few more pairs of hands.

North Hardin HOPE, which is in the process of merging with Helping Hand of the Heartland, is in need of volunteers, primarily in a warehouse and clothing room, said April Lay, an AmeriCorps volunteer with the organization.

Lay said those volunteering in the warehouse need to be physically able to load and unload heavy equipment, while the clothing room requires simpler tasks, such as sorting and inspecting clothes.

Lay said the organization has about four full-time volunteers and needs three to four more to perform at peak capacity.

She expects the merger, into Helping Hand of Hope, will aid in the volunteer shortage because the two agencies will combine resources. Likewise, the merger will not leave volunteers torn between agencies, she added.
