What we’re about
Austin Acts of Kindness exists to help the local community... We show kindness by volunteering at charitable events, and also by educating the public, gathering resources, and raising funds.
There are plenty of groups to volunteer with... Why choose us?
• We work for a wide variety of causes - education, mental health, hunger, homelessness, the environment, and many more.
• We are independent - not associated with a specific company, religion, age, or marital status. If you leave your company, have a milestone birthday, or change your relationship, you are welcome with us.
Typically AAK partners with an established organization, and we provide staffing and community support for a specific event... Characteristics of our volunteer events:
• Benefits the public or a non-profit organization which helps the general community.
• One time events... There is not an ongoing commitment, although we often like to return.
• No special skills, training, tools, extensive orientation or background check is needed... On-line registration with the sponsoring organization and brief task-oriented training is typical.
• Can use a flexible number of volunteers... AAK cannot guarantee a specific turnout - unfortunately volunteers recruited via social media can be flaky. Don't be that person - Please honor your RSVP.
Check out our Calendar. We hope to meet you at an upcoming event!

See all- Volunteer at MoveOutATX furniture marketUT Whitaker Intramural Tennis Courts, Austin, TX
MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE... WILL BE HOT.
OTHER DATES AND TIMES ARE AVAILABLE.Over 18,000 students live in West Campus, the neighborhood west of the University of Texas at Austin. Each July, students move out and dumpsters and curbs fill with a significant amount of material (most leases expire July 31). Much of this material could be reused, and the pattern causes headaches for students, parents, residents, property owners, and the City.
MoveOutATX helps students donate gently-used items they no longer need at nearby locations. The program avoids the mess while placing items in the hands of needy folks who can use them, rather than sending them to the landfill. MoveOutATX will sponsor a Free Furniture Market for Austinites to pick up items they want.
MoveOutATX is a partnership between the City of Austin, UT Office of Sustainability and UT Student Services, as well as participating reuse organizations and property management companies.
A variety of jobs are available. Participants MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE on the webpage https://www.givepulse.com/event/604569-Free-Furniture-Market-2025 . Some of us are signing up for the Sunday 5pm to 8pm slots, but other dates and times are available.
