Community First! Village Upkeep

Join us to serve at Community First! Village. Community First! Village is a 27-acre master planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for the disabled, chronically homeless in Central Texas, including veterans. A development of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, this transformative residential program exists to love and serve our neighbors who have been living on the streets, while also empowering the surrounding community into a lifestyle of service with the homeless. Please meet at the front office of Unity Hall to check in and get a name tag! This serve event may entail laying pathways, harvesting our gardens, tending the chicken coop, dry landscaping yards of our micro-homes, etc. We ask that everyone come wearing the proper clothing to ensure a safe day at work and require that each volunteer wear long pants, a short sleeve shirt, close toed shoes (boots HIGHLY recommended) and always recommend a hat, bug spray and/or sunscreen for the outdoors. All volunteers under 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian while serving at the village. All volunteers are required to register with both Mobile Loaves and Fishes and Austin 1st Service Platoon.
