A new partnership between the Literacy Council of Fort Bend County (LCFBC) and a new neighboring organization is “a match made in heaven.” Volunteer Fort Bend, a non-profit satellite operation for Volunteer Houston, matches people with non-profits needing their services. The Literacy Council has an ongoing need for volunteers to be trained as literacy tutors since students often wait in line to be matched with instructors. Recently, three new volunteer tutors, Rita and Rook Sahu, and Nizar Rawji, came to the Council through Volunteer Fort Bend. “Due to the rapid growth of the population in Fort Bend County,” said Volunteer Fort Bend director, Kathy Renfrow, “the Fort Bend office was established in September of 2006, and I’m now working to populate our database with the names and needs of organizations in this area that are in search of volunteers.
