In response to the recent flooding, families are in need of urgent support. We are partnering with ADRN (Austin Disaster Relief Network) to serve together in the coming days.
There are multiple ways to get involved. Scroll down to get details for each opportunity.
- Clean up (info and signup below)
- MARC/Intake Center (info and link below)
- Buy Clean Up Buckets/Supplies (info and link below)
Opportunities will continue for weeks, possibly months.
1. CLEAN UP (mucking out houses, sawing trees, hauling debris, cleaning a kitchen, cutting drywall, etc.)
When: TBD
Where: Local neighborhoods impacted by the storm (ADRN will provide location assignments and instructions).
What You’ll Need: Work gloves, closed-toe shoes/boots, water, and cleanup supplies
Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Stay tuned for new date once authorities open up access to volunteer groups.
2. MARC / Intake center - multi agency resource center - led by authorities, with invited groups like ADRN...
-----------------------------------
There will be 3 MARC / Intake centers in Travis and Wilco.
The process is more formal, and most volunteers have to be trained: CISM, Shepherd, Security, Chaplains, etc.
There will also be general volunteers for check in, setup up, tear down, snacks, logistics, etc. Survivors will be processed at these locations. This is not a role for children as you can imagine.
ADRN typically provides clothing certificates, gift cards, emotional and spiritual counseling, prayer, etc.
Sign-ups will be posted at https://www.givepulse.com.
