For nearly four years, KUT’s Get Involved Campaign has been featuring community organizations where volunteers are making a positive difference in the daily life of Central Texans.
If you know of a local non-profit powered by volunteers that is worthy of being spotlighted in our Get Involved campaign, we’d love to hear about it. We’re looking for organizations where volunteers help make life better for those in need in our community.
Send your comments and information about worthy organizations to kut.org.
Partnership
KUT is proud to partner with I Live Here, I Give Here to spotlight one local non-profit each month with a special feature. Your support is crucial to these organizations so be sure to check back here often for organization profiles and to find out how you can help!
