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 Austin volunteering all week long! Please RSVP on our calendar so we can let our non-profit partner know how many items to expect.


For this activity, you will work with your family at home to assemble care packages for Refugee Services of Texas to hand out at Women's Cultural Orientations. Moving to a new country can be a stressful time. Your family can bring comfort to women who are new to our community.


You will need to provide the supplies for this activity. You can complete this activity on your own anytime during the month.

Purchase some of the following items to include in your RST Care Packages and put them in a small basket or gift bag.


The most needed toiletry supplies are:

  • Shampoo + Conditioner

  • Deodorant
  • Pads/ Tampons
  • Shaving Cream
  • Razors
  • A loofah
