Volunteer
Opportunities
Cypress Assistance Ministries
Volunteers Needed
When you volunteer you are giving to your community, but did you
realize volunteering also benefits you as an individual? CAM volunteers
often let us know the fun they are having, the friends they have made and
the fulfillment they receive from helping others.
Cypress Assistance Ministries is a local non-profit organization serving
the Cy-Fair area for over 25 years. CAM offers assistance to those in
need by providing financial assistance, food, clothing, employment
assistance as well as GED & ESL classes. A huge part of this organization
is its volunteers. Currently we are in need of volunteers in many different
areas of the ministry. If you would like more information on how to
become involved, please contact Tara Rauch at 281-955-7684 or tarar@
cypressassistance.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
