HoustonHelps.org is going to act as a clearinghouse for people in Houston wanting to volunteer.
The Houston Chpater of the American Red Cross will hold 2-hour orientation classes for new volunteers Saturday at 10 and again at 1. You must go through orientation to volunteer with them and before taking any further disaster relief training, such as the Disaster Relief Institute being offered 9/9-11.
from Shelly Johnson: The Astrodome needs volunteers.
To participate as a [food-distributing] volunteer, you must be 12 years
of age or older and complete a Federally mandated training on food
handling. Training will take place this weekend in the Worship Center
of Second Baptist Church (at the corner of Woodway and Voss). Three
times/dates are available:
Saturday, September 3 at 9:00 a.m.
Sunday, September 4 at 2:00 p.m.
Monday, September 5 at 1:00 p.m.
More info when I get back from Beaumont.
