Re: Wounded Veterans charity in the Houston Tx area
The Powerhouse Church owns a place called the Jordan Ranch about 15 minutes west of Schulenburg and they occasionally host retreats for wounded veterans and their spouses. A few of my classmates and I went and helped out a couple weekends in October and we had a blast. Anyone can volunteer, just be sure to call and email them and tell them you're coming. They have you do things such as sweep the floors, vacuum, set up the dining room, and clean windows to prepare for their arrival. Then when they arrive they have you carry their luggage to their rooms, park their cars, and just help them out in any way you can. We could only go the day they arrived, but you can stay for as long as you want. Just google "Powerhouse Church, Jordan Ranch" and it should come up. Also, I'm not sure how often they host the retreats, so if you're interested you may want to email or call them and see when the next time they're doing it is. It's a little bit of a drive but well worth it. Hope this helps!
