INFORMS Pro Bono Analytics Volunteering Opportunity at Annual – Help us Help Houston's Homeless

  • 1.  INFORMS Pro Bono Analytics Volunteering Opportunity at Annual – Help us Help Houston's Homeless

    Hello all,

    INFORMS Pro Bono Analytics has partnered with Star of Hope Mission, a homeless shelter and community, and coordinated a volunteering initiative for the INFORMS Annual Meeting attendees to build toiletry and personal hygiene kits helping make a positive impact in our host city.

    As much as we need just a few minutes of our attendee's time building the kits, this effort to give back cannot be possible without the financial support of our members and conference community.

    Our goal is to provide Star of Hope Mission with 1000 complete toiletry and personal hygiene kits that will be distributed to homeless individuals on the streets of Houston. Please consider a monetary donation to assist INFORMS and its members support a city that has lost so much.

    In the wake of hurricane Harvey, it's just one more way for us to give back and help make a difference in Houston as they rebuild after the storm. We're grateful for the opportunity to assist Houston's homeless population on their road to recovery, every bit helps.

    I'm in! We had a great turnout for the "micro-volunteering" opportunity last year at Nashville. Hoping for a big turnout this year as well.
