Volunteer with DFPS
Are you interested in providing support services for children, families, or vulnerable adults? Do you want to donate items in your community or help prevent child and adult abuse but don’t know how?
The Faith-Based and Community Engagement Division has local staff who can help you, your organization, or your faith community find opportunities to volunteer, partner, or make a donation to help support the families we serve. Every day our team works in partnership with Texans to help meet the needs of the most vulnerable children, adults, and families in Texas. To get started and to get answers to your questions, reach out to the following staff in your region.
