“You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.” – Winston Churchill
Volunteers are a vital piece of the Central Texas Table of Grace community, and we welcome you to engage with us in service to these deserving children and young adults. We offer many different opportunities to get involved, with various levels of commitment. Our greatest needs at this time include transportation for our youth, deep cleaning, yard maintenance, and administrative work.
If you have a heart that desires to give in a specific way, we would love to hear about it! As a relationship-based organization, it is important to us that our supporters feel fulfilled in their service to our youth. Let us know how you would like to serve, and we will find the best way to plug you in to our community.
Our volunteers serve one or both of our programs:
- Table of Grace, an emergency shelter for children ages 6-17
- Grace365, a Supervised Independent Living program for young adults ages 18-21 who have aged out of foster care
