If you've considered volunteering at Sammy's House but haven't found the right time or motivation, now's your chance! On Friday, November 18, we're participating in Service Austin, a city-wide volunteering effort sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Austin that takes place each year the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Through the help of Service Austin volunteers, we will be making improvements to our classrooms by organizing and sorting toys, building indoor classroom gates to keep children out of unsafe areas, and installing a screen door in one of the classrooms to give the children access to fresh air and natural light in a windowless classroom.
If you're interested in volunteering, go to the Service Austin website to sign up. We are project #45. Please bring your own toolkit as we are unable to provide tools for volunteers. Also be sure to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. We ask that all volunteers be 16 or older.
Thanksgiving is a popular time of year to express our gratitude and appreciation by helping those less fortunate. Please consider supporting Sammy's House as your volunteering project for 2011.
