VOLUNTEER
do good, feel good
KWC’s main activity involves volunteering at many nonprofit organizations. This past year our 140+ members volunteered over 12,850 hours at local charities. Learn more about the local charities we support below.
Adopt An Angel
We provide necessities to students at Humble Elementary School who have been identified by the school nurse as needing assistance. Adopt An Angel is held twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.
Feed My Lambs
Members prepare and distribute lunch to shut-ins and needy families twice a month to low-income apartments in Porter Heights.
Community Events
This project encompasses volunteer activities in support of other local organizations.
Humble Area Assistance Ministries (HAAM)
This organization is a community coalition supported by donations and Resale Shop proceeds, which provide social services and food to those in need. At Humble Area Assistance Ministries, KWC members volunteer in the Resale Shop, the Food Pantry, Social Services and help with clerical duties. We support the Back to School program and during the holiday season we help bag and distribute food items.
The Gathering Place
Members provide one on one supervision/companionship to persons with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and Dementia so that their regular caregivers can have a much-needed break. This program is sponsored by Kingwood Methodist Church.
Project Mammogram
Project Mammogram is a Northeast Hospital Foundation Program, in conjunction with Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital, offering free mammograms and appropriate follow-up treatments (ultrasounds, biopsies, etc.) to qualifying area women who have no insurance or whose incomes are not low enough to qualify for Medicaid.
Oak Forest Growers
An organic gardening program for 5th graders at Oak Forest Elementary School. We help with the garden and to make jams, jellies and pickles as our produce is harvested.
