Darling Homes prides itself on not only building high-quality, elegant homes, but on fostering a sense of community within the company and neighborhoods. Every year, Darling Homes employees volunteer their time to give back to the communities they serve, and there are many incredible opportunities for volunteering around both Dallas and Houston.
Dallas
No matter what area of Dallas you choose to make your home in, areas from Irving to McKinney to Frisco offer dream homes from Darling Homes and communities that are filled with volunteer opportunities and room for growth.
The City of Dallas has partnered with VolunteerNow to create the City of Dallas Volunteer Program which makes finding the optimal volunteer opportunities as easy as possible. With filters that help sort opportunities by location, interests, skills and available times, this website helps match volunteers with programs throughout the Dallas area.
The North Texas Food Bank and its partner agencies offer the chance for Dallas-area residents to get involved and help on a local level, through volunteering time, hosting canned food drives, participating in events and more.
Dallas Public Library branches also provide a variety of avenues for helping in the community, including teaching English as a Second Language classes, GED tutoring and assisting with various activities for children.
Houston
From pet adoptions to gardens and education, Volunteer Houston helps to match Houstonians with organizations in need of assistance by partnering with over 1,200 community groups each year. Darling Homes builds throughout the Houston area, and several of the communities where Darling Homes builds have volunteer work for residents within their neighborhoods.
In The Woodlands, community takes a forefront with volunteer tasks including tree planting, arts in the park, community cleanup and more. In Montgomery, where Darling Homes builds gorgeous homes at Woodforest, chances to help out at animal shelters, medical centers, educational assistance and helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are abundant, as seen on this list from Lone Star College.
The Houston Food Bank and Habitat for Humanity both have multiple locations and venues for volunteers in various areas around Houston.
Throughout Dallas and Houston, several organizations provide valuable resources for Texans in need with locations and chances to lend a hand throughout the year and across the state. The Red Cross has various regional offices and is heavily involved in helping Texans on a daily basis and after natural disasters.
Both the YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters programs allow community members in Dallas and Houston to provide mentorship and aid to young people in the communities.
