Anyone have any resources for looking at community service opportunities in our area, or any specific recommendations?

I've just recently decided to take some time to do a little self reflection and self improvement. One of the areas I thought I could explore is doing some good for people I don't know. Just wanting to try it out and see how it fits me or what I learn.

Did you search "community service near me"?

My favorites:
  • your church (need one?)
  • Girl Scouts / Boy Scouts (lots to do besides weekly meetings)
  • Habitat for Humanity

Check with the Chamber of Commerce, United Way, and CVB. Plus, try calling 211.

Try Brazos Valley Food Bank also. They always need workers in their warehouse and my husband really enjoys his time volunteering up there.

I did not search that. I figured I might get some more personalized and first-hand recommendations here. Which I certainly have, and appreciate yours.

  • I'm not attending a church right now. Though that's been one of the things I've planned to do on this self-exploration journey. Not so much from a religious standpoint, but more from an academic and fellowship perspective.
  • Admittedly uneducated when it comes to this, but I've read some things recently on the Boy Scouts that has me a little frustrated with them.
  • I'll check out Habitat for Humanity, thanks!

First United Methodist is having a church wide service day working with the City of Bryan and Habitat for Humanity on various projects. Date is Saturday November 2
To sign up - contact the church at 979-779-1324 and ask for Pastor Jennifer Webber .
This would give you connection to some service work and also a warm and welcoming community of faith.
