Nora’s Home Chef of the Day

Thursday, September 5, 2024

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Nora’s Home offers solid organ transplant patients and their families an affordable place to stay in the Texas Medical Center (TMC) where they can find support and share experiences with others, in the comfort of a home-like environment. The home is located 2.5 miles from the TMC and serves patients suffering from end stage organ disease and facing the need for life saving transplant surgery. Medical care often requires families to travel far from home and many patients awaiting transplant, under-going surgery or having follow-up care must stay in Houston for many months.

Want to make a direct impact? There is nothing like guests coming home to a delicious, hot meal after a long day at the clinic. Whether that be volunteers preparing and serving a group meal, dropping a meal off, or catering a meal, our guests love getting a break!

If using the carpool, volunteers will meet in front of the Student Center South at 5:30 pm and depart at 5:45 pm and arrive at the event site at 6 pm, and volunteer until 8 pm. Please indicate on this sign-up form if you can provide carpool - we always need volunteer drivers! All volunteer drivers will receive one extra volunteer hour for their generosity. After the event, volunteers will return to campus and be back by 8:30 pm.
