Cy-Fair Offers Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities are abundant this holiday season for residents of Northwest Harris County thanks to Volunteer Houston.

Volunteers are needed to make greeting cards that will be delivered to nursing homes and hospitals on Christmas Day. Cards can be made at home and delivered to one of two area locations.
A pet supply store in Copperfield is in need of volunteers to help staff a pet adoption station every Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm for a local animal welfare agency. Duties will include walking dogs, cleaning cages, grooming and showing off the dogs. Volunteer opportunities are available for those ages 15 years and up (volunteers ages 15 to 17 must be accompanied by a parent).
Volunteer opportunities are also available with agencies that work directly with the courts. Volunteers will be needed to research placements for children who have been removed from their homes. Some participants will be used to review foster care cases and make recommendations for permanent placement while others will work directly with families in which abuse has occurred. Those interested can call to register for an upcoming orientation session.
Volunteers are also needed at an Alzheimer facility in spring to help lead a group of senior citizens in their chair-based exercise sessions. Staff will train all volunteers.

For more information on all of these opportunities please call 713-965-0031.
