VolunteerLEON's Featured Story - September 2005

Big Bend citizens who would like to help victims of Hurricane Katrina can assist by volunteering their time.

The Capital Area Citizen Corps, a partnership of the Leon County Volunteer Center (VolunteerLEON), Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross and Florida State University’s Center for Civic Education and Service are recruiting volunteers to travel to Mobile, Alabama over the next three weekends.
