Itron Inspire
5 Ways to Help Houston on Your Trip to IUW
Technology advancements have forever changed the way we communicate, and through social media, we’re more connected than ever. In times of crisis, this always-connected world is able to see firsthand what is happening in communities around the world that are most affected.
But technology is only a means to our connections with one another. [inlinetweet prefix="" tweeter="" suffix=""]We have an innate drive to help others in need during times of crisis. [/inlinetweet]We can easily identify and empathize with those experiencing the tragedies and aftermath of a natural disaster.
As we head to Houston for Itron Utility Week, we hope you will join us in our efforts to contribute to the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast and communities in and around Houston.
We will be packing some of the basic necessities that community members need (e.g., toothbrushes, toiletries and other personal hygiene items). If you’re attending IUW and would like to help, we welcome and encourage the extra hands. We will have four 1.5-hour shifts for 50 volunteers per session on Sunday, Oct. 15. You can sign up here or through the IUW app.
There are also many attractions to explore, from the Space Center Houston to the robust sports culture. Two words: The Beard. The Houston Rockets will be in town on Oct. 13 and 21, and you could watch alongside some passionate fans in a local sports bar as they battle the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 17 from afar (after the IUW closing reception, of course).
We want you to enjoy your time in Houston and join our mission to give to this city hosting us. Whether you volunteer between sessions, give dollars via donations or food experiences, or walk around to discover the downtown architecture, we thank you for joining us as we work to create more resourceful communities.
