Harvey Volunteers Are Needed!
After surveying multiple sites and carefully planning with our partners around Texas, we have been able to identify many locations that need your help. The Texas District, under the direction of Julie Tucker, Director of Disaster Response, will focus relief efforts in the Golden Triangle, which includes the towns of Beaumont and Port Arthur northeast of Houston, and the Coastal Bend, which includes towns like Corpus Christi and Rockport southwest of Houston.

Signing up to serve is a few easy steps.
- First click on the Volunteer Interest Form and choose an area;
- Sign up as a team or as an individual;
- Download the required paperwork to bring to the site with you; and
- Fill out a simple, and secure online background check.
It should only take a few minutes. Once you sign up, you will receive an email confirmation with all the information you will need for you and your team. The site coordinators will contact you to let you know what you will need to bring, what to expect, and to answer any other questions you may have.
