Feeding provides snacks, meals, drinks and water using Emergency Response Vehicles (ERVs) or other vehicles on routes within the impacted area or at a fixed location such as community center.

This position is responsible for the collaborative leadership of the feeding program within the region including:
1. Oversee overall feeding program, ensuring feeding guidance is observed

3. Ensure adequate supplies for feeding operations in the region
4. Ensure adequate partnerships are pre-identified to address feeding needs identified in regional plans, including requirements for regional, cultural, and health-related dietary requirements, coordinating feeding operational plans and managing expectations around feeding capability, capacity and reporting
5.Build feeding capacity and capability through partnerships, recruitment, training and mentoring
6. Serve as a Red Cross subject matter expert in feeding program guidance and tools

Qualifications: Ability to build and lead a team using a collaborative leadership style and demonstrating traits of honesty, forward looking, competence, intelligence and compassion. This Lead will envision a team’s impact in Mass Care and inspire the team into action. They will ensure the team understands how they fit into the larger DCS structure and how their actions can positively influence and support the DCS Program as a whole.

Time Commitment: Is around 10-20 hours per month with additional time needed initially to learn feeding protocols and procedures. Again, ability to activate during a disaster to lead the execution/implementation of the feeding plan (for a 2 week assignment) is highly desirable. (The Red Cross will cover travel, room and board when deployed for a disaster response.)

Volunteer: Career Mentors Needed

The majority of iEducate´s college students are not studying to become teachers and are planning on entering a variety of different careers after they graduate. But while they are in college, they are giving back to the community by helping to close achievement gaps and inspire 3rd – 5th grade students in underserved schools.

To help these students, many of whom are first-generation college students, iEducate is looking for 20 career mentors to help them navigate their industry, lean more about skills needed in their profession, and advise them as needed to help them be successful.  

To facilitate the mentorship, iEducate will be hosting an event in March to match our students with career mentors on specific career paths.  During this reception, you and the college students will have a chance to chat to see if there is a good connection and then develop the mentor/mentee relationship after that. Your mentorship will help provide business perspective and industry insight to these highly talented and community minded college students.  The students you mentor could be some of your best future recruits!

Thank you for your support!

Volunteer: Hammers and Ales Committee Members Needed!

Do you enjoy planning events?

 

The Houston Community Toolbank is seeking 10-20 energetic, dependable, flexible volunteers to assist with our major fundraising Event - Hammers and Ales - to be held on April 4th, 2019. We are looking to meet 4 times between now and then 4th of April.

 

Description of Hammers & Ales

 

Hammers and Ales is a Happy Hour style event with live music at Karbach Brewery on April 4th 2019. In addition to a selection of craft beer, ticket holders will enjoy heavy bites, a silent auction, a cornhole tournament and a raffle. This year, the event will move downstairs to the new Bier Garten area to accommodate an expected crowd of 400 plus attendees and will include live music from Eagles tribute band Already Gone. All event proceeds will go to our nonprofit tool lending program that supports thousands of community programs throughout the region each year.

 

Mission

 

Houston Community ToolBank is a nonprofit tool lending program that empowers fellow nonprofits to tackle community-based projects throughout our region. Toolbank borrowers are not only mainstream nonprofits, but also schools, faith-based organizations, neighborhood associations and many others. Whether a project has ten volunteers or three hundred, access to ToolBank inventory relieves the burden of purchasing, storing, maintaining and repairing the items essential to projects and events. In a sector that consistently faces constraints of time, personnel and budget, our tools allow organizations to achieve their visions for thriving community.

 

Committee Job Descriptions

 

Committee members can expect to help with the overall layout of the event. Each committee member will be able to choose to help with tasks based on their interests and skills. You may be assigned to a particular subset of the committee tasked with a particular focus. These may include things like: giving input to event layout, helping with preparation of event games and activities, exploring your network for potential sponsorships or silent auction donations, generating ideas for the promotion of the event to a broader audience, spreading the word to friends and family and many other tasks as they arise. In addition, each volunteer will receive two tickets (one for themselves and one for the guest) to attend the Hammers & Ales event on April 4th, 2019.

The Houston Community Toolbank is seeking 10-20 energetic, dependable, flexible volunteers to assist with our major fundraising Event - Hammers and Ales - to be held on April 4th, 2019. We are looking to meet 4 times between now and then 4th of April.

 

Description of Hammers & Ales

 

Hammers and Ales is a Happy Hour style event with live music at Karbach Brewery on April 4th 2019. In addition to a selection of craft beer, ticket holders will enjoy heavy bites, a silent auction, a cornhole tournament and a raffle. This year, the event will move downstairs to the new Bier Garten area to accommodate an expected crowd of 400 plus attendees and will include live music from Eagles tribute band Already Gone. All event proceeds will go to our nonprofit tool lending program that supports thousands of community programs throughout the region each year.

 

Mission

 

Houston Community ToolBank is a nonprofit tool lending program that empowers fellow nonprofits to tackle community-based projects throughout our region. Toolbank borrowers are not only mainstream nonprofits, but also schools, faith-based organizations, neighborhood associations and many others. Whether a project has ten volunteers or three hundred, access to ToolBank inventory relieves the burden of purchasing, storing, maintaining and repairing the items essential to projects and events. In a sector that consistently faces constraints of time, personnel and budget, our tools allow organizations to achieve their visions for thriving community.

 

Committee Job Descriptions

 

Committee members can expect to help with the overall layout of the event. Each committee member will be able to choose to help with tasks based on their interests and skills. You may be assigned to a particular subset of the committee tasked with a particular focus. These may include things like: giving input to event layout, helping with preparation of event games and activities, exploring your network for potential sponsorships or silent auction donations, generating ideas for the promotion of the event to a broader audience, spreading the word to friends and family and many other tasks as they arise. In addition, each volunteer will receive two tickets (one for themselves and one for the guest) to attend the Hammers & Ales event on April 4th, 2019.

Volunteer: Volunteer House Chef

CrossWalk Center needs a volunteer or a team of volunteers to help prepare a daily hot meal for the residents of our halfway houses. We are blessed to receive food donations each week, and with the help of volunteer house chefs, we can make the most of those gifts. The 24 men living at our halfway houses are just beginning their transition back into society after incarceration. As they are adjusting to their new job, new home, new friends, and new lives, preparing a hot, healthy meal can become a priority that slips through the cracks.

Our house chefs bless our residents with a home-cooked meal each day after work. It is our hope that individuals or teams could come into our halfway houses and prepare a meal from the donations we have already received. We don't require any professional experience, we just need willing hands and a servant's heart. Our homes are equipped with fully stocked residential kitchens, so you won't need to use your own cookware. For your convenience, volunteers can come during the day to prepare the food, leaving it in the warmer or the fridge until dinner, or come on the weekends, meal prep in bulk, and leave individual containers in the freezer.
