Volunteer
Volunteers are truly the heartbeat of Foster Village Houston. Every time you show up, you remind children and caregivers that they are not alone—and that a whole community is standing with them.
Whether you’re delivering essentials to a family’s doorstep, stocking our Resource Center, helping at an event, or using your unique gifts to plan our gala, you become part of the story of hope for kids in foster care. There’s a place for everyone in this village, and every role makes a difference.
We would love for you to join us—because when we come together as a village, families feel seen, supported, and equipped for the journey.
Volunteer Opportunities (Individual and Group Sign-Ups)
Delivery Team
This is a less scheduled and structured team on call whenever we have resources that need delivering to our families. We have a GroupMe that we add all of our delivery team members to, and they can claim deliveries on a first-come, first-served basis. This is great if you're looking for complete flexibility because you choose when you want to claim a delivery. This is also the only team that gets to see up-front the families we serve and connect with them meaningfully.
Resource Center Team
The Resource Center Team commits to one shift a week/month (whatever works best for your schedule) to come to our Resource Center in Old Katy for a few hours and help with the following: packing Welcome Packs, assisting families who want to shop, inventory tracking, cleaning and organizing, and any other project! This does have to be within our business hours, which are roughly M-F 9:00 - 4:00.
Gala Committee
Every November, we host our “Grow the Village Gala,” which is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We need a team of proactive people to help pull this event off, from the logistics to the fundraising to the auction.
Special Events Team
We have a variety of events that we host throughout the year for our kids and families as well as service days at our Resource Center. To stay in the know about these volunteer opportunities, make sure you are signed up to receive our email updates.
