With the Summer approaching, it seems more challenging than ever to spend the quality time one would choose to with family and loved ones. I feel ultimately one of the most gratifying ways to spend a bit of your time, as an individual or as a family, is working in the community as a volunteer, giving back and helping other individuals and deserving families in our very own hometown.

There are many organizations here in Wichita Falls that offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, from a day of support to weeks of contributing, depending on your personal availability. Here are 3 of my favorite organizations always looking for a helping hand and so deserve and adore any support.

Habitat for Humanity is a Christian housing ministry committed to putting God's love into action.  We strive to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope.  Our goal is to eliminate poverty housing in Wichita County. They are so very grateful and proud of all the wonderful volunteers who contribute to Habitat for Humanity.  Without them not one home would be built and families in our community would still be in unthinkable living situations.

When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to help them. That volunteer is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate®, or CASA.

CASA volunteers are screened and highly trained and then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child’s best interests in the child protection system. CASA volunteers are each assigned to help one child or set of siblings at a time, so they can focus on giving that child or sibling group the individualized advocacy and attention they need. CASA volunteers save taxpayers money and children’s futures by helping children find a safe, permanent homes as soon as possible.
