The Neighbor
Where to show up and what to do.
Small moves matter. Five minutes changed things 72 times this year.
You have time. You have energy. You want to help. You just don’t know where to go.
Houston has 54 active volunteer opportunities, dozens of community events, and organizations that need exactly what you have — time, skills, or just a willingness to be present.
Pick one thing. Show up. That’s enough.
