This organization should be ashamed of their selves! My family is not from Houston but a situation…read morehappened with one of my very close relatives that currently lives there. It took me days to encourage this family member to use her local resources to get some help with a situation that happened to her. She even had a terrible suicidal episode that morning because of her PTSD from what happened to her. She finally took my advice and contacted this organization 24/7 hotline. She was laughed at on the phone and was discouraged from reporting her incident. The night shift "supervisor" scheduled her an appointment with a counselor on November 10th to receive some help. That's 10 days later from the date of the phone call. Is that protocol? Is that how you are taught to assist your community members? I decided to call the hotline to speak with a supervisor, but I was met with the same lady. She refused to even provide her name to me so I can properly report her conduct on the phone. I'm not having to stay up tonight to sooth my relative from her experience and encourage to still report her incident. I hope no one has this experience and I hope this organization is shut down for a lack of knowledge and care for their community members. One word, DISGUSTING.

The Houston Area Women's Center (HAWC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting…read moresurvivors of domestic and sexual violence, as well as providing prevention education to youth and the community. HAWC's services include domestic and sexual assault crisis hotlines (open 24 hr/day, 713-528-2121 for domestic violence and 713-528-7273 for sexual assault), as well as anonymous shelter and counseling for victims of abuse. I volunteered for about a year and a half on HAWC's hotlines, and ever since Hurricane Ike the number of people seeking HAWC's services has increased triple or quadruple fold. This is partially because many of the shelters and other non-profits on the Gulf Coast were closed after the hurricane. HAWC also provides advocacy for victims, and education and training for the greater Houston community. If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual or domestic abuse, or if you just want to learn more about how to prevent such abuse, HAWC is an excellent place to turn to for help!

The Houston Food Bank is nice but I'll admit I enjoyed my Montgomery food bank experience a little better. Maybe because it was a smaller group of just me and work colleagues. Half of us worked with produce in the refrigerated room which was great for me since I tend to sweat and get hot easily. Others measured beans and rice in another room. There was ample parking and they provided us coffee, water and snacks during our breaks.

Through an organization I'm a board member of, I signed up to volunteer on a Saturday morning at…read moreKids' Meals Inc. Located in The Heights, Kids' Meals is in a shopping center with a bunch of other businesses. Since some entrances were closed, it was a little confusing figuring out how to get in at first. But, once you're in, parking is easy. After arriving, an employee at Kids' Meals spent a couple of minutes training us. Kids' Meals makes bagged lunches for kids in need. Since you're making meals, they require that you wear a hat or hair net. After training, we moved on to the facility where they had an assembly line system going. There were several different jobs and mine was to place a sandwich in a bag and then place the completed lunch in a large box. After 60 lunches filled the box, I also served as the muscle (a role I always gladly accept ;)). The boxes were then moved to a tray. I spent two hours or so volunteering here and it was a great experience. Giving back to the community is so important and Kids' Meals is one of the many great non-profits here in Houston. I would gladly volunteer here again.

This is something SOME people don't like..... I will agree with Farid: They should have a liaison to work with people that have to volunteer as this is lacking, MH needs to maximize the work these people might bring.
