Undies for Everyone
Undies for Everyone provides children living in poverty or crisis with new underwear, recognizing the importance of this small basic need as part of a child's increased chances of long-term success. It was founded in 2012 by Rabbi Amy Weiss, right here in Houston, and has since provided more than 5 million pairs of undies to kids all over the US.
How do FVL volunteers help? Undies for Everyone have a special place in our hearts as our first local community partner. We visit the UfE warehouse every month, packing a week's worth of undies in each kit, sorted by size and gender, ready to be shipped out wherever they're needed. This is a fun activity which is suitable for all ages.
Feed the City | Tango Charities
1 in 8 Americans face hunger every day, including more than 12 million children and 5 million seniors. Tango Charities is focused on feeding, educating and empowering communities through healthy and nutritious food. They've been working on hunger initiatives for over a decade, delivering over 7 million meals to partner organizations across the globe.
How do FVL volunteers help? We love Tango Charities Feed the City events. We bring our own food supplies (they provide a list) and form an assembly line to make sandwiches and pack them with chips, fruit and a treat for a yummy lunch meal. Everyone pitches in to see which table can make the most sandwiches! This is a fun activity which is suitable for all ages. Be aware, it can get messy but that's part of the fun!
Children's Assessment Center
For 30 years, the Children's Assessment Center of Houston have been providing a safe haven to sexually abused children ands their families - a place where they can receive the kind of care and treatment they so richly deserve. They bring together a multi-disciplinary team to provide the ser4vices and care that children and their families need, all in one safe place.
How do FVL volunteers help? The CAC have a large facility, with multiple play rooms and therapy rooms. We play our small part to provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for other families, by helping to keep those spaces clean and organized. This is an activity suitable for all ages.
