In addition to helping families with food support, Belmont Helps also serves the community in other ways. We have collected household goods and furniture on behalf of families in need, provided support for refugee families new to town and helped clients find additional assistance for childcare, food, housing and utility support. Belmont Helps was founded in March 2020 by Belmont residents Amy Kirsch and Shana Wang to coordinate volunteers to help neighbors with pandemic-related needs. With an outpouring of support from volunteers, Belmont Helps provided hundreds of masks and meals in the first several months of the pandemic. Belmont Helps volunteers continue to support the local community in numerous ways. https://belmonthelps.org/contact daily 0.75 2023-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60de28434786381415e7e9d0/0547ca3f-5cfd-4bd1-87b8-5633c34f7a11/Snack+Drive+BIG.JPEG https://belmonthelps.org/donate daily 0.75 2022-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60de28434786381415e7e9d0/e852b674-6bb4-467f-a743-7f85f53d46ac/Donation+letter.jpeg Donate - Donate Online Donations: Make an online donation to Belmont Helps by visiting https://www.gofundme.com/f/belmonthelpsbfc Donations Via Check: Donations via checks can be made out to Belmont Food Collaborative with “Belmont Helps” in the memo line and mailed to: Belmont Helps, 8 Jason Road, Belmont, MA 02478. https://belmonthelps.org/get-help daily 0.75 2025-12-03 https://belmonthelps.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2023-04-21
