Hello,
This year join El Buen in making hunger take a holiday by providing over 1000 families in the Austin area with a turkey and all the trimmings so they can have a memorable holiday dinner at home.
The first two Saturday mornings in November we gather together and prepare by registering all these families. Then on the third Saturday, over 150 volunteers, our community partners and all the families descend on our campus for a the huge Distribution Day event!
This amazing show of giving is simply not possible without volunteers like you! To sign-up please visit: https://elbuen.org/volunteer-application/ and select a time and day that works best for you!
Dates where help is needed are November 3rd/10th from 8am-12pm and November 17th from 8am-12pm
Detailed information on position descriptions, times, days, and shifts can all be found at the link above!
See you there!

About El Buen Samaritano Episcopal Mission
Location:

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
