Disaster Volunteers Needed!

We just got the word that 211 Texas and OneStar Foundation’s Donation Management Center need help with volunteers! Enclosed is the information. Please help if you can and/or spread the word!

2-1-1 Texas – Disaster Response Volunteers
2-1-1 Texas, a program of United Way Capital Area, provides free statewide, 24-hour access to health and human services and disaster information through its multilingual helpline.2-1-1 Texas needs Disaster Response Volunteers to answer crucial calls.



United Way Capital Area is taking a leadership role in ensuring the strength of 2-1-1 Texas. One way we’re doing that is by recruiting Disaster Response Volunteers. Disaster Response Volunteers relay information on shelters and evacuation routes. They direct people who wish to volunteer or donate goods to the agencies that can help them do so.

2-1-1 Texas needs volunteers who are caring, compassionate, creative problem solvers who want to directly help the public while working in a comfortable, professional setting. Bilingual speakers are especially valuable. Volunteers need: 10

Disaster Response – State-wide Donations Call Center
The OneStar Foundation needs help with volunteers for the State-wide Donations Management Call Center. Volunteers will be serving as call operators taking calls from individuals and businesses interested in making donations in response to Hurricane Ike.
