Needs From: Volunteer Houston

The need at Wesley's Food Pantry has dramatically increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. Volunteers are needed to help with our drive up food pantry to help our Houston neighbors who are in desperate need of food. We will limit the number of volunteers to keep in line with social distancing recommendations and volunteers must wear face masks.

Please see available shifts, updated in needs each month.

Duties include:

Skills Needed:

Hours: Tuesdays and Thursday 10:00am - 2:00pm, unloading deliveries, repackaging produce, pre-packing grocery bags for clients

            Wednesdays and Fridays 9:00am-1:00pm: loading bags into clients cars (may require limited outdoor time), restocking, set up and clean up

Healthy people must regularly donate to minimize disruptions to the blood supply and to ensure blood is available for patients. Since it is the blood already on the shelves that saves lives, maintaining a sufficient blood supply is essential to ensure patients in need to receive treatment. If you are feeling healthy, and well we strongly encourage you to schedule and keep blood donations regularly to help patients in our local hospitals

Handwritten letters are the most cherished items in our Care Packages. Encourage your employees, family, and friends to take a break and write a note of encouragement. This is also an activity that children love to participate in. Sign up and receive more details here. 

We welcome you to join our Gratitude in Action Facebook Page where volunteers from all around the country are getting together daily to share fun photos and stories of #VirtualVolunteerism in action

Team Rubicon normally provides disaster recovery services. During this COVID-19 pandemic we are also helping in other ways. Please join us as a non-member volunteer.  Perhaps you will decide to join Team Rubicon after working with us for a while.

One operation we are on is as follows, but there are others:

We need help each week day beginning Monday 4/13 loading medical equipment into boxes for transport from the Medical Bridges facility. The address is 2706 Magnet St., Houston, TX 77054. The operation and need for volunteers will end when the facility no longer needs help from Team Rubicon and its volunteers.

If you can help, please arrive at the facility and park in the designated area before 8:00 am. Go inside, tell them you are a Team Rubicon Spontaneous Volunteer, and ask for the Team Rubicon liaison person. Discuss with the Team Rubicon liaison person your availability to work there. Plan to work until 5:00 pm if you can. Water, snacks and meals, as well as personal protective equipment as needed will be provided. 

If you have questions, or if you are informed that the facility cannot use any more Team Rubicon Spontaneous Volunteers that day, please contact Bob Stevenson (Robert.Stevenson@teamrubiconusa.org 832-570-3663).

Every day, we hear more worrisome news about the COVID-19 pandemic. Target Hunger is proud to assist our registered families and seniors during this trying time. Volunteers are requested to arrive on site before 9am. They will be assigned to a task such as packing produce in individual distribution bags and/or placing food in car trunks.

Please help us continue providing the necessary food for our fellow Houstonian's.

Due to the recent COVID 19 pandemic our patients and families need us now more than ever. Our population is being largely affected by this deadly virus due to the fact of our older age demographics and preexisting diagnosis. By being apart of the donation delivery team, you will help distribute tissue and water by leaving them on our families doorsteps to retrieve. Come join our team and make a huge impact on the lives of many as our nation faces this huge transition. MUST BE 18 years old, undergo background check, and have a valid drivers license.

Volunteers are needed during this crisis with COVID-19. Many of our patients whether in their Personal Homes are in Nursing Homes are in need of companionship. Volunteers are need to call and check in on the elderly patients. We like to call just to see how things are going? Just to see if they have any needs are concerns for the Nurse or the CNA's.

We would like to reach out just to let them know that we are here for them. Its nice to have someone to talk to and to know that they are not alone. If you are available for Phone Companionship/Tuck In calls. These call can be made from the comfort of your own home.

Effective Immediately - Background Checks and Drug Screenings are still a Mandatory Process for All Volunteers for Harbor Hospice. Please contact me if you have any questions.

We include handcrafted paracord bracelets in every one of our Care Packages, because they’re both functional and meaningful. You can purchase the cord in bundles of 5 by visiting Operation Gratitude’s eBay site.

We welcome you to join our Gratitude in Action Facebook Page where volunteers from all around the country are getting together daily to share fun photos and stories of #VirtualVolunteerism in action.

Help Team Rubicon as we respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in a constantly changing variety of ways to address community needs across the Greater Houston area. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment is provided to all volunteers, as are meals during work periods. To learn what we are currently doing and preparing for, where those events are occurring, and to find out about becoming a member, contact Bob Stevenson by email to Robert.Stevenson@teamrubiconusa.org. To meet our need for numerous COVID-related volunteers, we have temporarily dropped some of the normal training that new members take.

Help the Galveston County Food Bank prepare food for distribution to the needy. Team Rubicon volunteer members will supervise other spontaneous volunteers. Please arrive before 8:00 am and ask for the Team Rubicon Point of Contact. Discuss with him or her your availability. Work will be done standing at a social distance. The organization will provide PPE. Meals and drinks will be provided.

Team Rubicon provides a variety of support for individuals, organizations and communities when they need help. This help may be requested at any time during the year - even during hurricane season. In some cases, like earlier in 2020 and probably again soon, the help needed is for food banks in Houston and Texas City to help with distribution of food for the needy. 

Currently, during this COVID-19 pandemic, Team Rubicon is not accepting offers to help from spontaneous volunteers. We are only using members of Team Rubicon to provide help. Joining is free!

So, if you think you might want to help, please join Team Rubicon. Go to https://teamrubiconusa.org and sign up. Everyone in Team Rubicon requires a cleared background check and they must have health insurance. Once signed-up watch for opportunities to help that get announced via email and text, and they are always put on Team Rubicon's internal website called Roll Call first.

The shelter in place mandate has had a significant impact on the residents of Goldberg Towers. The activities with which they have become accustomed have been discontinued due to the social distancing requirements. Please assist me in my efforts to ensure their socialization needs are satisfied virtually or by supplying activities that will occupy their time.

In additional to the social activities, I have enclosed a few essentials that will also be beneficial for this vulnerable population.

Desired Activities:

A 74 year old veteran with diabetes and only one leg uses a wheelchair. He needs someone who lives in the Gulfgate area to help him by pushing the cart in the grocery store while he selects what he wants to buy. Then the helper is needed to get the bags into the vehicle and then into the vet's home. This is a recurring need with frequency TBD.

Anyone interested in helping this vet should contact Bob Stevenson at Robert.Stevenson@teamrubiconusa.org for the vet's contact information.
