Volunteerism
Looking for ways to volunteer and give back to the Community? Check out these opportunities!
At Habitat, volunteers are the heart of our organization! More than 5,000+ volunteers assist in our home building program every year. They build homes, raise funds, work in the offices, feed hungry volunteers, work at our Home Centers, and more. Our volunteers work alongside our homebuyers and help them on their journey toward homeownership.
The Fort Sam Houston Memorial Services Detachment, a nonprofit organization, was formed in 1991 by members of the Veterans of Greater San Antonio Area , as a response to the limited ability the branches of the military had to provide honors to all veterans. They ensure that veterans buried Fort Sam receive all the military honors they are due, including three M1 rifle volleys with the brass shell casings presented to the family, and a bugler playing taps. When needed, they also fold and present the American Flag to the Next of Kin (NOK).
The detachment is made up entirely of veteran volunteers wearing white shirts, black shoulder ropes and black slacks, and have been providing burial ceremonies for active-duty troops, reservists and retirees, including Medal of Honor recipients, since Dec. 17, 1991. Members of MSD come from all branches and major conflicts.
Our mission is to say Thank You to our Military and First Responder communities, and to honor their service by creating opportunities for all Americans to express gratitude. We fulfill this mission by empowering communities, supporting local leaders, and preserving the stories that connect Americans with Service Members, Veterans, and First Responders through meaningful acts of appreciation.
Fighting Hunger doesn’t always start with a meal. It starts with those who serve. With the gift of time given by volunteers like you, we can provide the nourishment and support our neighbors need.
Encourage a friend or family member to join you in making a difference. Together, we can eliminate hunger in Southwest Texas. Sign up to volunteer today.
Thank you for joining us in the fight against hunger.
