Matr Boomie Spring Volunteer Day

Matr Boomie participates in a community volunteer day a few times a year. On May 20th, our staff volunteered at a local organization called Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center.

Sunrise is the largest provider of homeless services in Travis County. They help people experiencing homelessness find access to housing, as well as providing medical care and mental health services for clients in need. One goal of this holistic approach is to keep clients from falling through the cracks and missing out on crucial resources.

This organization plays an important role in supporting unhoused people in Austin, and the work they do is deeply personal. For some members of our wonderful Matr Boomie team, the connection is personal too.

“As someone who has experienced homelessness, volunteering with Sunrise brought up a lot of complex emotion and reinforced how precarious housing really is - so easy to lose, so hard to get back,” one team member explained. “Working with my team to help people who are where I once was, and where I could easily end up again, was really humbling. It means a lot to work for a company like Matr Boomie that actually cares about lifting up people in our community who need support.”
