The benefits of having a great dad are countless.

A study of the AmeriCorps Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs showed that BEING a great father figure is also invaluable.

Happy Father's Day to these superheroes [who sometimes wear a cape and an AmeriCorps 🅰️].

As we prepare to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we invite you to join the AmeriCorps Senior Companion Program’s MLK Book Donation Drive! This is a wonderful opportunity to uplift our community by sharing the power of reading with others.

Dr. King once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

On Monday, January 19, the MLK Day of Service is America’s opportunity to re-commit ourselves through service to one another and our communities. Observed each year on the third Monday in January, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is a federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer their time, talent, and resources to improve their communities. AmeriCorps has been charged with leading this effort for over three decades.

This year, we’re collecting adult books—new or gently used, any genre—to support the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Medical Center. Your contributions will help foster connection, comfort, and lifelong learning for veterans in our community.

📍How You Can Help
Donate new or gently used adult books
All genres are welcome
We’re aiming for 100+ books!

📍 Drop-Off Locations
Red Book Drop Box: Located in the vestibule

Together, we can create a powerful impact and carry forward Dr. King’s lasting message of service, compassion, and community.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
