Hello. We are so happy to have you here! 

Austin Families Give Back

It is safe to assume that most of us have had a hard year. The realities of living through a global pandemic, shelter in place orders, virtual schooling, and the biggest fight for racial justice in recent memory has kept us all on edge. Whether you are feeling exhausted, inspired, anxious, or hopeful (or all four – I know I am!), one thing remains true: there is power and comfort in spending time in service of others. The drive to be an active citizen and generous community member is stronger than ever, and we at Generation SERVE have seen this in the unwavering commitment our families have shown through the last seven months.
We have made many changes to our volunteer programs in response to our current reality, and this includes our upcoming Austin Families Give Back event in November. We started this event in 2017 as a community celebration of volunteerism, held on National Family Volunteer Day. The purpose of this event is to inspire families new to volunteering together to find causes and organizations they connect with, to share with them the joy of giving back together, and to kick off the holiday season with a day of doing good. Though the spirit of this event remains the same, the event itself will be very different this year, and we hope you will join us!

Austin Families Give Back (At Home!) will combine the fun, hands-on, age appropriate activities with virtual events on Saturday, November 21st. Families will order supply kits from Generation SERVE and can pick them up the week prior to the event.
Each kit will include supplies and instructions for completing various service projects to benefit our partner nonprofits we work with year round. The virtual events will explain more about the projects and will be opportunities to learn more about volunteerism and service. Because of our generous sponsors, this event is free to the community. Spots are limited, and we hope that you join us!

​Thank you to our event sponsors who have made this possible: 
NI, Capital One, Maxwell, Locke & Ritter, H-E-B Central Texas Region and Whole Foods, and our media sponsors Do512 and the Austin American-Statesman
