Needs From: Volunteer Houston

Volunteer: Care Kit Assembly & Distribution

Join Black United Fund of Texas for a hands-on volunteer event where we’ll assemble care kits for community members in need. Volunteers will help pack essential items like dental care supplies, hand sanitizer, wipes, band-aids, and include a handwritten note to add a personal touch of encouragement.
This is a meaningful and easy way to make a direct impact in a short amount of time, and all ages are welcome. Donations for care kit bags and supplies will be accepted during the event but are not required to sign up—your time and heart are what matter most! 

We will also be accepting donations leading up to this event. So if you would like to donate items beforehand, please contact Marissa Hines at marissa@buftx.org to coordinate drop off.
