Activity Description
SERVE at Home is a way for your family to spread kindness and help our community on your own, anytime, anywhere! We want to keep Houston volunteering all week long! For this activity, you will work with your family at home to assemble disaster preparedness supplies for SEARCH to hand out to their clients. During hurricane season from June to November, people living on the streets face an elevated risk of displacement and unsafe conditions. Your family can help make a difference for them.
You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.
Activity Directions
Purchase some of the following items to include in your SEARCH Hurricane Bags. The most needed disaster preparedness supplies are:
- Bottled water
- Rain poncho
- Flashlights plus compatible batteries (no candles, please!)
- Non-perishable snacks
- Hand-cranked radios
- Backup lighting batteries
- Ziploc plastic bags for important documents
- Toilet paper
- First aid kit
Place the items in a large ziplock bag or plastic container. If you don?t have every item, that is ok! Add what you can. It will all be very much appreciated. You can also make cards to place in the kits with messages to brighten the day for SEARCH's clients who are experiencing homelessness.
You can purchase supplies for and make as many hurricane kits as your family is able to donate. We recommend making 6 hurricane kits, but any amount you can put together is appreciated.
Please drop off your snack packs at the SEARCH main building Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm. You are encouraged to call and schedule a drop off time by contacting Krys or Curt at 713-739-7752. Please let them know you are dropping off on behalf of Generation SERVE.
