Caritas of Austin

When I was a little girl, my grammy used to tell me, «You feel good when you do good.» At Caritas, an organization focused on helping house the homeless and those without the means to find proper shelter in the Austin area, there are just so many ways to do good and feel good!
These fine folks work tirelessly, that much is clear, and they are incredibly accepting to outsiders. During my short time working with them, they showed me how compassionate an organization it is, with big goals, and big dreams. Fund-​raising can be a tireless (and often thankless!) effort, but the good folks at Caritas work non-​stop on several super-​creative opportunities, like their Thundercloud Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, and their Words of Hope Dinner, featuring noted speaker Bobby Bones!
If you’re looking for a place you can contribute, and you feel as strongly about the homeless situation in this country as I do, Caritas is the place!
Give your heart. Until there’s nothing left to give.
