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.
