Elevate Haven — A place to belong. A chance to grow.
Bring what you know

Volunteer in Kilgore.
Help your East Texas neighbors.

You don’t need to do everything. A few hours, a practical skill, or a team ready to work can help us take the next step.

Help with our homes

Organize supplies, clean shared spaces, paint, prepare rooms, or offer skilled repair work.

Share a life skill

Help with cooking, job preparation, budgeting, or another useful everyday skill. Tell us your experience and what you would enjoy sharing.

Work on the garden

Help with site preparation, planting areas, tools, soil, and garden projects as the work develops. We’ll confirm the task and materials before your visit.

Help develop the sanctuary

We welcome relevant experience in fencing, shelter preparation, and animal care. Animal-related tasks depend on suitable facilities, current needs, and care arrangements.

Bring a group

Churches, businesses, civic groups, and families can ask about a service day or community activity. Group size, children’s participation, tasks, and timing must be arranged in advance.

Plan your visit

Share your skills and availability. We’ll confirm a project, location, and schedule. Respect residents’ privacy, follow instructions, and ask before taking photos.

Community service in Kilgore & East Texas

Looking for community service hours, including court-ordered community service? Contact us before starting. Opportunities depend on current projects, supervision, scheduling, and individual review. We cannot guarantee placement or that your court, probation office, school, or referring agency will accept hours.

  1. Ask your referring agency whether Elevate Haven is an acceptable placement and what approval or paperwork is required.
  2. Email your name, contact information, number of hours, deadline, availability, and the agency’s documentation requirements. Do not email case records, identification documents, or other sensitive information.
  3. Wait for written confirmation of an agreed task, supervisor, location, and schedule before arriving or counting hours.
  4. Check in and out with the agreed supervisor. Ask about hour verification before your first shift; only verified work actually completed can be documented.

Possible tasks include organizing donated supplies, cleaning, painting, garden preparation, and other approved projects. Tasks are matched to ability and supervision. Tell us about access needs or task limitations. Minors and groups require advance arrangements.

Your inquiry goes to our private inquiry inbox. This is not an emergency service. Sending this form does not confirm a room, volunteer placement, community service hours, or sponsorship agreement.

Do not include Social Security numbers, identification documents, medical or legal records, or banking information. If referring another person, obtain their permission first.

You will receive an on-screen reference number after successful submission. Email notifications are not sent automatically. You can also email info@elevatehaven.org.
