Our Impact
Community Engagement
In addition to our building and remodeling projects, HomeAid reaches out to meet the immediate needs of Austin families and individuals experiencing homeless and the organizations that assist them. Every year we complete several HomeAid Care Days, HomeAid CareKits, and the HomeAid Essentials Drive.
HomeAid Essentials
These outreach programs coordinate with their local communities to collect and distribute donations of these much-needed items.
Builders for Babies: A program of Essentials (Diaper Drive)
Share the Warmth: Blankets, winter coats, gloves, scarfs, hats
Seats and Feets: Socks and underwear
CareKits: Personal hygiene items, snacks, water, and resource cards
Back to School Drives: Needed school supplies
HomeAid CareKits
Bringing together donors and volunteers, we collect and assemble travel-size toiletry items including soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, and more. These items are then thoughtfully packaged into CareKits and distributed to the most vulnerable homeless populations.
HomeAid Care Days
HomeAid Care Days are hands-on volunteer workdays during which minor repairs and upgrades are made at homeless shelters and homeless service facilities. Tasks like painting, landscaping, cleaning, and small construction projects are done at no charge based on each organization’s needs.
HomeAid Care Days
Through hands-on opportunities, volunteers come together to support the work of our network of community nonprofit partners. Volunteers work with HomeAid to assist with housing/shelter improvement projects such as landscape renewal, interior/exterior clean-up, painting and light construction work.
