I love Metro Relief. They are changing lives not only in The Colony but all over the Metroplex. We are fortunate to have an organization like this in our small town. Most people have to drive to Dallas or Fort Worth for great volunteer opportunities but we have this right in our hometown.
Metro Relief is a faith-based Bus Outreach to the homeless & poor of the DFW metroplex. They are also a food pantry that operates on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9-12. I have been volunteering there for over a year and spend more than 30 hours there working in the office. On Fridays I go on the Bus Outreach to Ft. Worth and take food, socks and hygiene kits to the homeless community at Unity Park. I started volunteering in the Food Pantry, but as more and more volunteer opportunities presented themselves, I found myself filling in wherever I was needed. I like to tell people that I came to feed others and ended up being the one that was "fed"! The services Metro Relief provides to the community and this area of Texas (& beyond) is something I have not seen matched by any other non-profit organization. Anyone (or group) looking for a volunteer opportunity(experience)would find Metro Relief not only a fulfilling experience, but also a true blessing.
