Engage Travis County

Family Eldercare needs volunteers to help with their annual Summer Fan Drive.

Fan Drive Office Volunteers: From May 1 to September 15, their greatest need is for volunteers at the Summer Fan Drive office. They need volunteers to distribute fans to people in need who come by the Family Eldercare office. Volunteers assist with fan sorting, warehouse/office operations, data entry, and must commit to multiple shifts.

Fan Drop-Off Event Volunteers: They need volunteers to help at their Fan Drop Off Event. Volunteers assist with directing traffic, unloading donated fans, and distributing event materials. With various locations and time slots available, volunteering is a great way to help your community stay cool and comfortable.

Delivery Drive Volunteers: From May 1 to September 15, they depend on volunteer drivers to deliver fans—free of charge—to those who need them most. Many older adults and individuals with medical or mobility challenges can’t travel to pick one up. Volunteers choose delivery routes based on their availability and pick up fans from the warehouse.

Volunteers are needed to assist with Austin Habitat for Humanity for construction projects and to help in their retail stores in Austin.

RE-Store volunteers assist with re-stocking items, helping customers, accepting donations and more. RE-Stores are located in North and South Austin and in San Marcos.

Construction volunteers assist in building simple, affordable homes for qualifying families. No previous construction experience is required. Let us know if you can help.

The engAGE offices will be CLOSED on Friday, June 19, 2026 in honor of the Juneteenth holiday. We will resume normal business hours on Monday, June 22, 2026.
