Volunteer - Healing on Wheels

Help us sort, pack, and distribute food, baby items and household items to local families. Great for individuals, families, and groups looking to give back. This is a weekly volunteer opportunity.

Volunteer at our Monthly Food Pantry

In partnership with the Central Texas Food Bank and Texas Empowerment Academy, The Healing Project hosts a monthly food pantry to provide fresh groceries and essential resources to families across Austin and surrounding cities. This market style pantry takes place every 4th Saturday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Texas Empowerment Academy (5800 E Parmer Ln). No ID is required—just complete a quick intake form. Together, we serve hundreds of families each month with dignity, care, and community connection.
