About Ethos: Ethos specializes in providing needed care for elders and disabled individuals in the Boston neighborhoods of Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Mattapan, Roslindale, and Hyde Park. By providing high-quality and affordable home and community care including food, housing, medical attention, and the care they need to be safe at home, Ethos helps to ensure the overall wellbeing of their community members. While Ethos is able to provide important care for these individuals, in the early spring and late fall months the organization and their community members often need added help.

Opportunity Description: Volunteers will create valentine cards for the individuals served by Ethos.
