Hands for Hope helps extend a spirit of gratitude and service by bringing together individuals from all parts of Austin to help make a Thanksgiving celebration a reality for families who may not be able to afford it otherwise. Last year El Buen was able to provide a Thanksgiving meal to over 1,000 famlies.
This community-wide event relies on the collaboration of nearly 200 volunteers. El Buen is looking for a group of volunteers that love to plan events to assit in the coordination and logistics necessary to fulfill our mission of helping families during the holiday season. We would love your insight! Our team would plan to meet once a month July - November.More opportunities with El Buen Samaritano Episcopal Mission

Mission Statement
El Buen Samaritano, an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas serving the Latino community of Central Texas, is committed to recognizing the dignity of all by ensuring access to healthcare, education and essential needs that lead to healthy, productive and secure lives.
Description
Since its inception, El Buen has been at the forefront of responding to the many social-environmental factors leading to lack of access to health care, social services, education, and nutrition. Over time, El Buen has adapted to meet the community needs that come with population growth, immigration, and economic fluctuations.
This adaptation to change has led to our comprehensive strategy of becoming a "one stop shop" to address the needs of the Latino and Spanish-speaking community in Travis County and surrounding areas. Through our Family and Health Literacy programming, El Buen provides education (ESL, Digital Literacy, Adult Basic Education and High School Equivalency in Spanish), workforce development, child and adolescent development (parenting and school-readiness, after school tutoring, and summer camp), health literacy (access to health services, chronic disease management classes and screenings), a year-round, no-cost food pantry, and a community garden where clients can grow their own healthy food. These services are provided by bilingual bicultural staff that includes community health workers (CHWs), volunteers, and health and social services practitioners
