In close partnership with local organizations, we are targeting our efforts to address the high levels of unmet need in communities throughout Northeast Houston, as well as smaller towns such as Taft and Refugio in Coastal Bend. In the past month, we have welcomed five families back into their homes, contributing to a total of 89 homes rebuilt in Texas.
Volunteer Voices “I expected this experience to be one dimensional — volunteering in construction. However, you all have given me so much more than that. The effort you put into your bonds with one another, and the effort you put into your bonds with homeowners is amazing and inspiring.” “The work and homeowners in Coastal Bend will stay with me for the rest of my life. There were so many learning opportunities that the staff were ecstatic to teach, and so much knowledge that was given freely without thought of time consumed. Working in so many different scopes has been a great experience.” “Most of all, it was evident that everyone had a true passion for what they were doing, which was not only inspiring, but made me even more motivated to put my all into my work regardless of how tired I was.”
