On Sunday, a volunteer reception center opened. That center will host a coordinated volunteer effort for people interested in helping with cleanup, debris removal and other activities in the wake of last weekend’s flooding. More information about the center and how to volunteer is available here, and volunteers are encouraged to sign in here before their arrival to help coordinate efforts. The center is located at Crossroads Christian House of Prayer, 5201 East William Cannon Drive, and it will be open from Monday, Nov. 9 to Saturday, Nov. 14 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition, on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Onion Creek Plantation Neighborhood Watch Program and Keep Austin Beautiful will hold a litter/flood debris cleanup for Paces Mill Street in Onion Creek Plantation from 8:30 until 11:30 a.m. Those interested in participating should meet at Palm Elementary.
