With more rain on the horizon and many of our Houston neighbors needing help, the American Red Cross has opened additional shelters to aid those impacted by severe rain and flooding throughout the Greater Houston area.
These shelters will be open 24 hours a day, providing a warm, dry place to stay, food and emotional support for area residents who are not able to remain at their homes due to storms and flooding.
Volunteers are greatly needed to staff shelters as well as distribute food and provide other services to those in need. Training will be provided on site. Anyone interested in assisting this way is encouraged to go to redcross.org/volunteer or call 713.313.5491.
Those who wish to donate to flood relief may do so at redcross.org/donate.
The Houston Food Bank’s main warehouse facility at 535 Portwall Street is looking for volunteers to help sort, process and box food and other necessities for Disaster Boxes for those impacted by the floods earlier this week.
WHEN:
Morning: Today – Saturday, 8 am to noon
Afternoon: Today – Saturday, 1 to 4 pm
Evening: Today – Friday, 6 to 9 pm
Register to volunteer online or call Van Tran at 713-547-8604.
Cash donations are also needed and can be made through the website houstonfoodbank.org
