Hey Leadership Austin Community – Help us expand list of resources for helping our neighbors
We are all in this together. For those wanting to help during this winter storm, we suggest checking on loved ones, your neighbors, your team, and intentional self-care for yourself without feeling guilty.
If after that, you still have the ability to volunteer or contribute in some way, here is a list of local organizations that could use your assistance – now and throughout the year.
This list is incomplete and we know that. As the Leadership Austin community, how might we expand and improve this list?
