Once we know a family or individual will be served by the Abilene office, our team works to secure their housing and ensure that their home is set-up and ready to welcome them upon their arrival. We rely on volunteers and various community groups to help with housing set-ups. Housing set-ups typically take place Monday-Friday during normal business hours and take approximatley 2-4 hours.
Location: Varies throughout the Abilene area
Time Commitment: As needed/no long-term time commitment
