There are three special ways that volunteers can help. The Good Elves Toy Drive for Children is a toy drive where new gifts are wrapped and given to Goodwill's employees, trainees, and evaluees. Volunteers will help with the Beginner's Bird Watching Class by assisting bird watchers in making bird feeders and touring the woodlands and wetlands of Hermann Park's Bayou Parkland. If interested, contact Nettie at 524-5876. Volunteer drivers deliver a hot noontime meal to persons who are home bound and unable to prepare their own food.
Drivers pick up meals from one of four church satellite sites.
These church sites and the homes to which the meals are delivered are all located in the Southwest area of Houston, not far from Rice University. At the present time volunteer drivers are needed on Monday-Thursday. One or more students can share a route and take turns driving. This exhibit celebrates the Smithsonian's 150th Anniversary and will feature over 300 objects of historic significance and is expected to attract thousands of visitors from Houston and the surrounding 400-mile area. The exhibition takes place in the George R. Brown Convention Center from December 6-January 28.
