Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are always needed and appreciated to help with food distribution, classrooms and other events.

Many of our programs would not be successful without the time and energy donated by volunteers. Contact 832.479.7494 or residentservices@avenuecdc.org for volunteer opportunities.
