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.
