STANDUP FOR KIDS
How would you feel if you saved a kid’s life? StandUp For Kids is an
all volunteer organization dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk and
homeless kids through volunteer outreach efforts. Our volunteers
search the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless
and street kids improve their lives. Every day throughout the US thirteen
kids die on the streets from abuse, disease and suicide. According to
recent statistics Houston has up to 2,500 kids living on the streets at any
given time. Texas has the highest rate of homeless youth in the U.S.
StandUp For Kids needs supplies for our Houston program, which
provides food, clothing, counseling and a safe environment for the
homeless youth of Houston. If you or your organization would like to
hold a food or clothing drive for StandUp For Kids, please contact me at
HeatherE@standupforkids.org to learn more about StandUp For Kids
or how you can help, visit our website at www.standupforkids.org. The
single greatest need, for homeless and street kids is our continuous
caring and real support. We must convince them that we care, we want
them back and we want to help them get off the streets.
ADOPT A US SOLDIER
Adopt A US Soldier is a non-profit organization that seeks volunteers
and donors to help show the brave men and women fighting for
our freedom that their sacrifices will not go unnoticed. It connects
supportive civilians with deployed soldiers and offers a channel by
which to communicate encouragement and express gratitude to
those serving in the United States Armed Forces. Adopt A US Soldier is
sustained by its volunteer workforce located across the United States.
After a supporter asked a soldier what they needed, his response was as
follows: “No requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” - LCPL O.J.T. III
When registering for Adopt A US Soldier your involvement can range from
writing letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages full of items
a soldier may need or want. Handwritten letters are most important and
meaningful to soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier encourages civilians to adopt
a soldier to show your support for those that are making sacrifices for our
country. If interested, please go to www.adoptaussoldier.org to register.
