Volunteer opportunity in Arlington

The City of Arlington is working to set up the former Eastern Star Home on Division Street as a long-term shelter for hurrican evacuees. They need volunteers to help get everything ready. If you can help, you need to first go by the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department office to get an ID badge.

Parks and Recreation is located on the northwest corner of Cooper and Main Streets, just north of the UTA campus.
