Outreach

Mobile Loaves and Fishes is a social outreach ministry that has been empowering communities into a lifestyle of service with the homeless since 1998.

Community First! Village is a permanent housing community in East Austin for formerly homeless neighbors. Their Community Cinema is an outdoor amphitheater open to the public that shows a rotating selection of classic and contemporary movies. Along with the ticket fees, snacks are also sold to benefit the organization and provide a living wage to residents who work the events. 

Volunteers will be providing the essential manpower to run the show, from directing parking to checking in/selling tickets and working the concession stand. All the stations are easy to learn and no previous experience/training is necessary. Just dress comfortably and come ready to serve!

Email Josh Murray ([email protected]) to learn more and sign up to volunteer.

SAFER works with men and women who have been released homeless from institutions. SAFER provides funds for short-term housing and supportive services to assist in stabilizing our at-risk homeless individuals.  

Join us as we serve SAFER by providing food and fellowship! We will help in handing out tacos and spending time with men and women who have been released homeless from institutions. We hope you will join us in serving our neighbors in need!

Each day, medical professionals across the country are working tirelessly to take care of those in need. Throughout COVID, Red Rocks Church has supported the medical community and we hope to continue to do so. 

Join us on Tuesday, October 26th from 6-8pm as we create care packages for front-line medical workers at UC Health. Care packages will contain a variety of essential items for medical professionals as well as resources on anxiety and mental health. We hope you will join us! 

RBI Austin exists to engage and develop inner-city Austin youth athletically, academically, and spiritually, empowering them to lead the transformation of their communities.

Red Rocks Church partners with God Behind Bars to transform the lives of prison inmates and their families. Our GBB campuses stream the weekend messages and worship experience into our partnering prisons and provide opportunities for recovery from addiction, resources for re-entry into society, and ongoing support after release.

Join us on on Saturday, November 13th from 10am-12pm for the God Behind Bars Hygiene Packs Event! Volunteers will have the opportunity to put together hygiene packs that will be provided to inmates as they are released from prison and enter our GBB Aftercare program. 

The world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, Operation Christmas Child uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Each winter Red Rocks Church collects thousands of shoeboxes at its campuses to be given to Operation Christmas Child for those in need. Here's how you can participate!

1. Pick up a shoebox and label from a Denver Based Red Rocks Church campus on Oct. 31st or Nov. 7th
2. Fill the shoebox with fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. See "What Goes in My Shoebox?" for ideas.
3. Bring your filled shoebox with a completed label to a Denver Based Campus on Nov. 7th or 14th during a weekend service.

Don't live near a Denver Based campus or unable to come to one of our physical locations? Check out the link to "Build A Box Online"!

Millions of shoeboxes are collected each year. Before these special gifts can bring hope and joy to children around the world, each one has to be carefully inspected and made ready for overseas shipment by volunteers like you. You can help prepare shoeboxes for delivery by volunteering at a processing center. About 80,000 volunteers serve annually at our eight processing centers across the United States.

We have opportunities at the processing centers for volunteer groups of all sizes. You can volunteer as an individual or with family and friends. All volunteers must be at least 13 years of age, regardless of a student’s grade level. Due to the warehouse environment we can allow no exceptions to this age requirement. At least one chaperone 18 years of age or older for every four youth is required (youth volunteers include any volunteers between the ages of 13-17.)

If you have any questions regarding Processing Center volunteer opportunities, do not hesitate to contact OCC at [email protected] or 800-442-9120.

Shiloh House offers nurturing, therapeutic, & educational services to empower youth and families to overcome the impact of abuse, neglect, and trauma.
