GET INVOLVED
For more than two years now, 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 psa@kut.org.
