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