We have to give our ATXtoday readers props.
When we asked whether you volunteer with a local nonprofit, more than 80% of you told us that you either used to or currently volunteer regularly.
Another 18% of our readers said they’ve never volunteered in ATX, but they’d like to try. If you’re in the same boat, here are a few ideas, courtesy of our readers, to get you started:
Susan has volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, Dress for Success, North Central Caregivers, Salvation Army, and HOST
Gris M. has volunteered for the Long Center, Paramount and State Theatres, Texas Center for Performing Arts, Waterloo Park and Moody Amphitheater, ZACH Theatre, SXSW, and the Texas Tribune Festival
Kimberly L. has volunteered for Any Baby Can, Temple Beth Shalom, and AMOA
Y’all are amazing, and thanks for helping take care of our city.
I loved reading about all of the places our readers have volunteered around the city.
I myself have really enjoyed volunteering for Keep Austin Beautiful in the past — it’s a great way to get outside while also keeping our lovely green spaces clean.
